  4. Mass Flowers • Have the flower head on the terminal end of the stem • Draw attention to the focal point and add mass and weight to the arrangement. • Cover floral foam and help fill in empty areas with flowers

  5. Form Flowers • Unique in shape or color • Create the accent or focal point or focal area of the arrangement to attract the viewer’s attention

  6. Form Flowers-Examples • Bird of paradise • Orchid

  7. Filler Flowers • Have small sprays of flowers or are like ferns • Used to fill empty spaces and to accent the other floral materials within the arrangement • Also used to cover or hide the mechanics of the arrangement including the frame, supports, ties, etc.
