After much experimentation this is what I came up with. The delphinium was a pain to work with because it has a hollow stem! So after some glue, shoving foam up the stem and trying different heights and all I was finally given the suggestion to put wet foam on the frog then put the stem on the foamed up frog. GENIUS!! it totally worked, now the test will be if the frogs stay glued down to the bowl. I had it complete yesterday but one of the pieces fell over because the glue weakened. Hopefully I solved that issue. So I used 3 jade roses, 3 white alstromeria and 1 delphinium and other grasses and foliages. And there is clear flower gel in the bowl, it serves two purposes, it looks cool and provides the moisture the flowers need. The total is a mere $30.00 (since Mandi provided her own bowl and frogs the cost is much less.)
That is so cool, I will come pickit up and show it off at the Chamber all week.
