Abstract: A flower support apparatus comprises an open collar having leg receivers extending outwardly from the collar in spaced apart positions. Each of three support legs is removably engaged with one of the leg receivers at an upper end, with the support legs depending downwardly from the leg receivers, thereby supporting the open collar at a desired position above a support surface. A leg brace assembly engages the support legs medially so as to brace the support legs in a downwardly divergent stance. The legs may be arranged vertically with a bottom set of receivers engaging the lower terminal ends of the legs.

Abstract: A tripod support apparatus comprises an open collar having three leg receivers extending outwardly from the collar in spaced apart positions. Each of three support legs is removably engaged with one of the leg receivers at an upper end, with the support legs depending downwardly from the leg receivers, thereby supporting the open collar at a desired position above a support surface. A leg brace assembly engages the support legs medially so as to brace the support legs in a downwardly divergent stance. With the legs disengaged from the collar, the brace assembly is able to be folded to allow the three legs to assume positions in a common plane for shipping, storage and improved portability.
