  2. Flower Types • Flowers come in all shapes and sizes. • Flowers and floral products that are used in Floral Designs can be grouped into 4 groups. • Mass • Line • Form • Filler • Foliage • Each type of product has a special use and placement in a flower arrangement.

  3. Mass Flowers • These are the main flowers used to make the shape (outline) of the floral design. • These flowers are usually round in shape and they can be placed to give the overall design type. • Examples: • Roses • Carnations • Chrysanthemums • Sunflowers

  4. Line Flowers • Tall slender stems with smaller florets (little flower blooms) around the stem. • These help make the structure (or skeleton) of the design. They create lines for our eyes to follow. • Examples: • Snapdragons • Gladiolas • Delphinium • Dendrobium Orchids

  5. Form Flowers • Used for a focal point or special feature. • Usually unique with distinctive, interesting shapes that draw attention. • Usually use fewer in the design, because of cost and attention. • Examples include: • Lilies (oriental, asiatic, calla) • Orchids (phaleonopsis, cymbidium) • Irises (dutch)

  6. Filler Flowers • Groups of small or tiny flowers. • Used to fill up gaps in a design. • These are accents, not to draw attention from the other flowers. • Includes “spray” stems of flowers: • such as mini-carnations, mini-roses, or mums • these have multiple blooms per stem • Examples: • Baby’s Breath • Statice • Solid Aster • Waxflower

  7. Foliages • Foliages are the greenery used to cover mechanics and add a natural effect to the overall design. • Some specialty greens can also be used as focal points or add special interest to a design. • Usually we use greens to cover foam or start a vase design. • Examples include: • Leather Leaf • Comedor • Salal (lemon leaf) • Lily or Bear Grass • Myrtle

  8. Flower Placement on Stem • Solitary • These flowers have only 1 bloom on the end of the stem • Roses, Tulips • Spray • Multiple Flowers per stem • Mini Carnations or Mini Roses • Inflorescence • These flowers look like 1 large flower head, but are actually lots of smaller blooms arranged in a cluster • Hydrangea, Agapanthus • Spike • Like a Line Flower, it has a longer stem with smaller blooms on it • Snapdragons, Liatrus
