my lisa keaney amaryllis water color does NOT want to stay on the wall.  the card it's printed on is simply too thick and too firmly curled from having been rolled up  inside a map tube for two months before it was sent.  prior to that, it has only been rolled up for, i think, two days at a time--i bought it flat, carried it home flat, put it up on the wall, and rolled it up just to take it back to tuscaloosa. 

the corners are taking turns, all except the upper left, popping off the wall.  i used up the scotch tape yesterday too.  and all the stores are closed today for all saints' day.

This may sound odd, but try ironing it (no water of course) on low heat. Careful not to scorch.

That's good advice. Except for the bit where we don't have an iron and all the stores are closed. We're just gonna have to live with the posters snapping off the wall for a little while longers, I think.

Oh, I suppose rolling it in the opposite direction and weighing it down with some books will have to do!

Put it under a stack of big, heavy books for a couple of days. Should flatten it right out.
