Abstract
An invention is disclosed for apparatuses, articles, structures, and supports for faux or artificial floral arrangements. Embodiments of such an apparatus, article, structure and support would provide, among other benefits and advantages, a more reliable, adaptable and extensible support for elaborate and extensive arrangements of faux floral artifacts over an extended area in a three-dimensional manner. In addition, faux floral products that incorporate or are otherwise equipped with the invention would become more environmental friendly and cost effective, and easier to manufacture and transport than the current approaches in the art aimed for the same goals or benefits.
