Abstract: A device for use in flower arranging is disclosed. The device can be used to facilitate manufacture of bouquets that have the appearance of a tied bouquet. The device comprises a body having a first aperture (32) extending through it along a first axis (A) and several secondary apertures (26) surrounding the central aperture (32). The secondary apertures (26) each extend along a respective secondary axis (B) that is inclined to the first axis (A). The secondary axes (B) are aligned to have at least a component that is tangent to a helix centred about the first axis. Various embodiments are disclosed. For example, the device may include similar upper and lower plates (22, 24) parallel and spaced apart, and rotated with respect to one another about the principal axis (A). Holes (26) are formed in the plates to constitute the secondary apertures. A foam body (30) may be disposed between the plates (22,24).
