ABSTRACT:
A holder for one or more foam blocks for supporting flower arrangements for use in association with a support for mounting the holder substantially vertically, as on an easel, comprises one or more hollow tray-like base members each having outer side walls, substantially vertical inner side walls, and upper and lower bottom walls forming one or more water-confining compartments for supporting one or more foam blocks. The foam blocks are of configurations substantially fitting the compartments and certain of the compartment walls have protruding ribs for preventing engagement of the foam blocks therewith. Each of the receptacle compartments has at least one aperture at the junction of the upper bottom wall and the lowermost side wall, as when mounted on an easel, for draining excess water from the blocks. The upper bottom wall of each of the receptacle compartments has a plurality of perforations and there are provided a plurality of L-shaped fastening members, each having a pointed lower extremity for piercing a foam block and detachably engaging one of the perforations in the upper bottom walls of the compartments, thus laterally supporting each of the foam blocks.
