ABSTRACT:
A holder for at least one element of living corsage material from which substantially the entire stem has been severed. The holder comprises a covered wire; a plug of absorbent material surrounding an intermediate portion of the covered wire to form a moisture reservoir, the plug having upper and lower surfaces through which the covered wire passes and sides extending from the upper to the lower surfaces; and a water-repellent covering surrounding the sides and lower surface of the plug and extending down the wire, and leaving the upper surface of the plug uncovered; the plug of absorbent material comprises random fibers of synthetic material organized generally uniformly in density throughout the plug and extending predominantly parallel to the covered wire, the fibers being capable of spreading generally radially outwardly to permit insertion of the severed end of the living material into the plug and being capable of providing a radially-inward restoring tendency to keep the material from breaking its moisture-supplying contact with the plug, the wire having a laterally-extending formation at the intermediate portion, the formation extending laterally from the wire into the fibers of the plug to secure the plug to the wire.
