ABSTRACT:
A stand for supporting a floral device such as a bouquet holder or a foam block. The stand is integrally formed of transparent plastic and has a front panel and parallel back panel spaced a distance behind the front panel, all supported at a slight angle on a flat base. Openings are provided in the front panel for receiving the stem of a bouquet holder, and the free end of the bouquet holder slides down into a vertical groove on back panel. Foam blocks may be used by arranging a number of removable pegs on the front panel. Thus, this versatile and attractive stand can be used to prepare, store, transport and display a floral arrangement.
