An invention is disclosed for processes, apparatuses, articles, structures, and supports in relation to floral arrangements. Embodiments of such a process, apparatus, article, structure and support would provide, among other benefits and advantages, a more cost-effective and versatile support for placing or supporting one or more floral pieces in a container. For instance, one embodiment comprises the following: a first section, wherein the first section comprises one or more sides and one or more widths, the one or more widths fit within a neck of the container by having the one or more sides in contact with one or more sections of an inner surface of the neck, the container comprises a mouth leading to the one or more sections of the inner surface of the neck; a second section, wherein the second section comprises one or more floral pieces, and at least one floral piece from among the one or more floral pieces extends above the opening of the mouth when the one or more sides associated with the first section are in contact with the one or more sections of the inner surface; and a third section, wherein the third section comprises one or more stem pieces, and at least one stem piece from among the one or more stem pieces extends below the neck when the one or more sides associated with the first section are in contact with the one or more sections of the inner surface.

A flower stem insertion device for forming flower bouquets in accordance with the present invention includes an outer portion fabricated from a relatively flexible polymer material and having a plurality of apertures disposed to ultimately configure a preselected flower bouquet when stem portions of preselected flowers are inserted through the apertures. The flower stem insertion device further includes a deformable inner portion fabricated from Floral foam configured to cooperate with the outer portion such that when the stem portions of the preselected flowers are ultimately inserted through the apertures, the stem portions penetrate the deformable inner portion a predetermined distance sufficient to maintain the position of each preselected flower relative to the outer portion.

A floral design mechanic includes a top shell that includes top supports and top openings defined between the top supports. A bottom shell including bottom supports and bottom openings defined between the bottom supports is attached to the top shell. A plant or a portion of a plant is held in place by the floral design mechanic by inserting the stem of the plant through a top opening and a bottom opening so that the stem is supported by a top support and a bottom support. The floral design mechanic is used without a container or may be placed at least partially within a vase.

Various implementations include a plant holder that includes at least one wall having an inner surface, a first end, and a second end. The inner surface of the at least one wall defines a channel, along with a first opening to the channel and a second opening to the channel. The first end and the second end of the at least one wall are spaced apart along a central axis that extends through the openings. The plant holder also includes at least two legs extending axially from and being spaced around a perimeter of the second end of the at least one wall. Adjacent edges of adjacent legs define a gap therebetween.

A blank when used for forming a floral arrangement apparatus, the blank being fabricated from a material including at least a pair of layers spaced apart from one another to form a cavity therebetween, the blank including a first panel portion and a second panel portion located adjacent the first panel portion and sharing a common edge therewith, the first panel portion and the second panel portion being configured for folding movement relative to one another about the common edge. In the assembled condition, the first panel portion and the second panel portion are located in abutment with one another such that the cavity is accessible through an aperture in the common edge.

A plant transportation apparatus enables the shipment of multiple plants such as flowers in a single container. The plants are held in place by a cap. It is contemplated that the apparatus could move small or large quantities of plants.

An adapter for securing to a top opening of a vase and receiving flowers, the adapter having a body with a rim extending around a periphery of the body, the rim being to rest on a top surface of the top opening of the vase; tubular extensions extending through a thickness of the body, each of the plurality of tubular extension having an opening positioned on a top surface of the body; the plurality of tubular extensions are angled toward a central region of the body; the plurality of tubular extensions receive flower stems.
