Useful in vases as well as more adventurous arrangements. A heavy metal flower holder with pins is called a Pinwheel, Kenzan, Stay Put or Spiky Pin Frog. A kenzan is used in Japanese flower arranging techniques called Ikebana. Another expression in Ikebana is the Seika or Shoka style.
What Is a Flower Frog?
A flower frog is a type of floral mechanic, or an apparatus or technique used to construct floral arrangements and keep flowers in place. Flower frogs sit inside the floral container in the water and are traditionally known for their use in ikebana, the Japanese art of floral design. However, floral frogs have been adopted by flower lovers all over the world and are used in a variety of floral design styles.
In fact, these curious little floral mechanics are so well loved, that they are often sought after by collectors who search for vintage flower frogs in antique shops. Do your remember seeing your grandmother using them?
What Is a Flower Frog Used For?
Flower frogs keep the stems of flowers secure as you strategically place and arrange the flowers or greenery in a vessel. They act as an anchor for a floral arrangement, allowing you to establish a foundation for your design and build upon that shape.
Flower frogs come in a variety of styles, but the most recognizable is often referred to as a kenzan or a pin frog, a metal circle base with metal pins that stick straight up from the base.
