image004.11.02.81.86 Picks.gif (18856 bytes) 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.

Crowning Glory is like a hand lotion for flowers.  It helps to seal the surface of the blossoms and leaves of cut flowers, thus slowing the transpiration and water loss of the flowers.  Crowning Glory is excellent for use on corsages and wedding flowers.  It will also help to prolong the life of vase flowers.  To use, you simple spray a fine mist of Crowning Glory on your arrangement or corsage.  Allow the flowers to dry at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes.

image004.11.02.81.02 Floralife.gif (22627 bytes) Floralife Fresh Flower Food / Preservative

This 10 ounce tub will provide you with enough preservative / food for 30 quarts of preservative - water solution or approximately 24 vase arrangements of fresh flowers. A good Floral Preservative / Food is essential for maximizing the vase life of arranged flowers.  There are three primary ingredients in floral food / preservatives which work in harmony to extend the vase life of cut flowers.  The primary ingredients include a sugar which provides nourishment for the cut flowers,  a biocide which inhibits the growth of fungi and bacteria,  and an acidifier, which lowers the pH of the water. Review our pages on Flower Care & Handling for additional information.

image-movielink002.00 Waterproof-Tape.gif (18762 bytes) 1/4" Waterproof Tape

We jokingly call Waterproof Tape the "Duct Tape" of floral design.  It is used to secure floral foam into a container or to create a "grid" on a floral vase.  Waterproof tape is a grand design material.  It is very strong and when affixed to a clean dry surface holds tightly even when submerged in water.

image-movielink002.00 Water-Tube-4.gif (14031 bytes) Water Tubes 4.75"

These water tubes taper to a pointed and barbed end.    I often use them for short-stemmed blossoms like cymbidium orchids, setting the water tube into the floral foam with the other flowers in a design.  You can tape the tube to a dowel or plant stake and create an extender for short stemmed flowers.  To add delicate blossoms like violets to a wired and taped bridal bouquet, I insert the  blossoms into a water tube, then wire & tape the water tube and add it to the bouquet.

image004.11.02.81.04 Wet-Foam.gif (24156 bytes) Floral Foam Bricks

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".
