An apparatus to create a floral arrangement, comprising:
- a. a water retaining member including an interior chamber;
- b. a water retention and stem retaining member;
- c. an indicia assignment member having a top surface with a multiplicity of spaced apart indicia and a multiplicity of indicia markers with a respective indicia marker respectively encompassing a respective one of the indicia from the multiplicity of spaced apart indicia;
- d. a cover member having a multiplicity of spaced apart openings extending through at least a top of the cover, the cover having an interior chamber;
- e. the indicia assignment member positioned on an upper surface of the water retention and stem retaining member, a portion of the water retention and stem retaining member within the chamber of the water retaining member, a portion of the water retention and stem retaining member within the chamber of the cover, the indicia assignment member within the chamber of the cover, the cover positioned on the indicia assignment member, a corresponding one of the multiplicity of spaced apart indicia on the indicia assignment member aligned with and visible through a respective one of the multiplicity of spaced apart openings in at least the top of the cover;
- and
- f. the apparatus used in conjunction with water and a multiplicity of cut flowers, water retained in the water retaining member and partially absorbed by the water retention and stem retaining member, each respective cut flower from the multiplicity of cut flowers including a stem obtained from a living plant, each indicia respectively corresponding with a respective cut flower and stem to facilitate a stem of a cut flower with a corresponding indicia inserted through an aligned opening in the cover and aligned visible corresponding indicia of the indicia assignment member and inserted into and retained by the water retention and stem retaining member to create the floral arrangement.
An apparatus to create a floral arrangement, comprising:
- a. a water retaining member including an interior chamber;
- b. a water retention and stem retaining member;
- c. an indicia assignment member having a top surface with a multiplicity of spaced apart indicia;
- d. a cover member having a multiplicity of spaced apart openings extending through at least a top of the cover, the cover having an interior chamber;
- e. the indicia assignment member positioned on an upper surface of the water retention and stem retaining member, a portion of the water retention and stem retaining member within the chamber of the water retaining member, a portion of the water retention and stem retaining member within the chamber of the cover, the indicia assignment member within the chamber of the cover, the cover positioned on the indicia assignment member, a corresponding one of the multiplicity of spaced apart indicia on the indicia assignment member aligned with and visible through a respective one of the multiplicity of spaced apart openings in at least the top of the cover;
- and
- f. the apparatus used in conjunction with water and a multiplicity of cut flowers, water retained in the water retaining member and partially absorbed by the water retention and stem retaining member, each respective cut flower from the multiplicity of cut flowers including a stem obtained from a living plant, each indicia respectively corresponding with a respective cut flower and stem to facilitate a stem of a cut flower with a corresponding indicia inserted through an aligned opening in the cover and aligned visible corresponding indicia of the indicia assignment member and inserted into and retained by the water retention and stem retaining member to create the floral arrangement.
An apparatus for creating a floral arrangement having a structure where the structure includes an insert having corresponding indicia assigned to specific openings in the structure and the indicia corresponds with a cut flower and stem which has been cut from a living plant, a water retention foam with the insert positioned on the water retention foam, a respective indicia visible through an aligned respective opening in the structure, each cut flower and stem assigned an indicia corresponding to the indicia on the indicia assignment member so that a stem of a flower with a corresponding number is inserted through an opening with a corresponding indicia visible through the opening to form a floral arrangement.
