Here’s your 2nd tip on flower arranging:

Floral frog, that is.

Rather than use floral foam, which is difficult to use, go for floral frogs.  Floral frogs are flower holders, arrangers, or blocks.  They are placed at the bottom of your container, just like floral foam, only they don’t come with the same problems as floral foam.  Sticking flowers into floral foam often causes the stems to break or bend, which can be costly and inefficient.  Also, when arranging flowers you tend to move the flowers around a lot, trying to find the best places for each flower.  This can cause the floral foam to break apart to the point where it is unusable.  Floral foam also weakens the capability of the floral stems to absorb water and nutrients and shortens their life.

Floral frogs, on the other hand, do not cause these problems.  They are also reusable, require less waste, and less cost over time.  Additionally, floral frogs are decorative, make excellent collector’s pieces, are inexpensive, and come in a variety of different styles, shapes, colors, and sizes.

Below I have added two arrangements sent to me by Christine. They show the use of frogs in floral arrangements. Well done! Christine
