ABSTRACT:
A holder for a foam block for supporting flower arrangements comprises a hollow tray-like base member forming a water-confining receptacle for supporting a foam block. The upper wall of the receptacle has one or more apertures for draining excess water from the foam block into the receptacle. To this end, such upper wall has a central drainage aperture and a plurality of ridges extending radially from the aperture to support the block and sloping toward the aperture to facilitate drainage. The holder further includes means for holding the foam block in a position to be supported by the base member. This holding means may be in the form of a plurality of elongated fastening members or stirrups shaped to engage the upper face and the side faces of the foam block to support it laterally. The upper wall of the base member has a plurality of perforations adjacent the opposite sides of a foam block disposed thereon and the lower extremities of the stirrups detachably engage such perforations. There is also provided an auxiliary water reservoir disposed on the upper surface of the foam block and held in place by the stirrups. This reservoir has a restricted air inlet aperture and a plurality of spaced outlet apertures in contact with the upper face of the foam block for feeding water thereto primarily by gravity.
