A disposable floral support is provided that is inexpensive, compactly stored and transported as separate parts, then readily assembled into a variety of configurations having pleasing aesthetic values. The floral support includes a base member assembled from individual planar elements, such as cardboard, interlocked into a cruciform shape. The base member includes means for receiving a riser or post comprising a selectable number of interlocking tube segments which may be arranged to give a particular height for a specific floral display. An easel or other top support structure is attached to the uppermost end of the post. An easel is provided, for example, by a folded cardboard element having a triangular front face and including an interior fold-down panel and a folding tab or tongue for registry into the upper end of the uppermost tube. Side panels may be folded back from the face surface member to be coupled together at a rear margin, while an aperture in the fold-down panel receives the uppermost tube length, so as to hold the easel member in position at a given angle of inclination. Alternatively, a floral support of a different kind may be utilized interchangeably by employing an inverted base member. Whatever the configuration, the advantages of low cost, compact storage and transport, and rapid assembly are maintained.
