An apparatus includes a base defining a first surface and a second surface. The first surface defining a plurality of receptacles for receiving one or more ignitable light sources and/or at least one flower. A wall extends from the first surface of the base. A lid is positioned along a rim defined by the wall, the lid defining a plurality of apertures for receive one or more ignitable light sources and/or one or more flower.

A floral cage includes a bottom panel; a top panel; and a plurality of side panels. The side panels vertical extending between the bottom panel and the top panel, each side panel is formed to include cooperating structures for coupling with corresponding features of a similarly constructed further floral cage. The floral cage is selectively configurable in an unassembled condition and an assembled condition, the floral cage planar in configuration in the unassembled condition, the plurality of side panels folded perpendicular to the bottom panel and the top panel in the assembled condition and the floral cage rectangular in configuration in the assembled condition and defining a rectangular opening for receiving a foam block.

A method for producing a biodegradable floral arrangement media that includes obtaining a pre-formed mixture by mixing together: (a) a matrix of natural or inert inorganic fibers and/or powders; (b) a water insoluble, meltable compostable binder; and (c) optionally, additives; and heating the pre-formed mixture to fuse the binder with the matrix. Also, a biodegradable floral arrangement media made by the process, which is preferably compostable.

The present invention is directed to an apparatus for attaching a floral arrangement to a headstone, having a band having a first end, a second end, and a central portion, the first end and the second end each having a surface with a hook-and-loop fastening material disposed thereon. The apparatus has a strip having a first side and a second side. The second side is affixed to the central portion of the band. The apparatus further has a panel having a front side and a back side. At least a portion of the back side having a hook-and-loop fastening material disposed thereon, and the front side being configured to mount a floral arrangement thereon.

A plant transportation system includes a vase and a sealant receptacle. The vase includes a mouth, a throat, and a reservoir. The sealant receptacle is housed in the throat. The sealant receptacle is configured to allow a defined amount of stems therethrough, and includes a cover extending across the throat, a base extending across the throat behind the cover, and a sidewall extending behind the cover to the base. The cover defines at least one cover-side stem aperture, the base defines at least one base-side stem aperture, and the sidewall closes the sealant receptacle from the side. The at least one cover-side stem aperture is similarly sized to the defined amount of stems, and the at least one base-side stem aperture is similarly sized to the defined amount of stems.

A binding wrap for maintaining the hydration of cut flowers is disclosed. The wrap is formed by folding a flexible, absorbent sheet over and around the stems of cut flowers. An assembly of a bouquet of cut flowers with a flexible, absorbent binding wrap folded around its stems is also disclosed as is a method of forming such a wrap.

A display vase adapted to hold a variety of longitudinal stems or sticks, the vase including a retainer mountable within the transparent vase that can hold a multitude of display items. The retainer may sit on a shelf or retaining ring inside the vase. The retainer may include an array of hexagonally shaped cells that may interlock with a lower level of interlocking cells. Also included is a method of arranging and displaying stemmed items in a vase. A retainer is set in a vase and stems are secured therethrough, preferably into a frog apparatus at bottom of vase.
