Abstract
The present invention provides a stand for holding silk floral arrangements that includes a substantially-tubular piece having a longitudinal axis and defining a first cross-sectional interior area at a first position along the longitudinal axis and a second cross-sectional interior area at a second position along the longitudinal axis. The stand also includes a base piece attached to an end of the substantially-tubular piece, the base piece configured to support the substantially-tubular piece in an upright alignment. The stand further includes a first area-adjustment piece configured to engage the substantially-tubular piece at the first position along the longitudinal axis, the first area-adjustment piece defining a third cross-sectional interior area that is smaller than the first cross-sectional interior area defined at the first position of the substantially-tubular piece. The stand still further includes a second area-adjustment piece configured to engage the substantially-tubular piece at the second position along the longitudinal axis, the second area-adjustment piece defining a fourth cross-sectional interior area that is smaller than the second cross-sectional interior area defined at the second position of the substantially-tubular piece.
