Flower Frog
The Flower Frog, also known as a Kenzan, is an essential tool for anyone who loves floral styling. This clever round disk with sturdy metal pins sits at the bottom of your vase or bowl. You place each flower or branch firmly onto the pins, which keeps every stem perfectly in place. This gives you endless freedom to play with height, direction and shape.
