Flower Frogs are the perfect gadget for those of us who are floral arrangement challenged! Flower frogs are also known as flower spikes, flower cages, and flower pins. All you need to do is cut a flower, or plant, and push it right into the top of the pins, then place it in a small container of water. Flower Frogs were used as far back as the 16th century in Europe, and in the United States they were very popular in the 1920′s. Are you interested in getting one of your very own? I found some interesting glass and ceramic antique flower frogs on ebay, and also some very inexpensive metal frogs on saveoncrafts.com. These pictures here are with my ” 1 inch” diameter flower frog and a small 2 inch ceramic pinch pot. I like to use succulents because they stay looking perfect for months; it’s the quintessential green arrangement for any room in the house, or work space. Keep water level just at the top of the pins.
