Commonly called "wet foam", floral foam is the primary material for making
modern floral designs. Floral foam is designed to absorb and hold water in it's capillary
structure. Flower stems properly inserted into floral foam will be held in place and
can draw water up into the flower stem from the floral foam. Before designing an
arrangement, floral foam should be allowed to soak in a solution of water and floral
preservative / food. Each brick is 9"x4"x3".

Wired Wood Picks
Wired
Wood Picks are an essential aid to the floral designer with a multitude of uses. I
use wood picks to cluster grasses for a single insertion into floral foam. If I am
working with a very thick stem such as a Bird of Paradise and limited foam space I will
attach two wood picks to give greater stability to the insertion. Wood picks can be used
to secure a bow in an arrangement and are great for securing fruits, vegetables, pine
cones and pods in a floral design.
