Floral types

• FORM MATERIAL refers to flowers that have an outstanding shape that sets them apart. Orchids and exotic lilies are examples of form flowers.

• LINE MATERIAL such as irises, snapdragons, delphinium and long, slender foliages provide strong linear elements in a design.

• MASS MATERIAL is the mainstay of flower arranging. Roses,chrysanthemums and carnations are but some of the flowers that impart a sense of weight and mass. Because of this, they are often used as thefocal point of an arrangement.

• FILLER MATERIAL is used (as its name implies) to fill in,provide contrast, and give a finished look to a design. The best knownfiller is, of course, baby's breath.
