- Establishes the framework or structural foundation for floral designs.
- Examples include Curly Willow, Eucalyptus, Gladiolus, and Tuberose.
Mass Flowers

Form Flowers
- Notable for their distinctive or unusual shapes, contributing drama and interest to arrangements.

- Serve the purpose of filling gaps in arrangements, masking imperfections and mechanics.
- They help create patterns, adding depth and texture without being distracting.
