A collar for surrounding the stem portion of a cut flower or flowers for supporting the flower(s) generally vertically in an open top vase comprises a generally planar piece of foam sponge material whose shape corresponds to that of the cross-section of a vase just below its open top. An aperture is formed through the thickness of the foam sponge material and a slit is formed vertically through the material that extends from a perimeter edge thereof to the aperture so that flower stem(s) can enter the aperture via the slit. When the collar is inserted into the vase and allowed to self-expand against the vase interior, the blooms are held upright in a central location in the vase. |
