Abstract

An invention is disclosed for processes, apparatuses, devices, articles, structures, supports and systems for setting of floral items. In particular, embodiments of the present invention provide improved processes, methods, apparatuses, devices, articles, structures, supports, systems, and means for coupling one or more floral items or elements with or via one or more holders, bases, containers, receptacles, or artifacts, among other benefits and advantages. For instance, an embodiment may comprise a three-dimensional shape, one or more ridges, and another shape. The shape may comprise an empty space, which is adjacent to one or more surfaces associated with the shape. The other shape may comprise a cross section, where the one or more ridges are on the one or more surfaces, at least a portion of the empty space is adjacent to the one or more ridges, and at least a portion of the other shape is in contact with at least a portion of the one or more ridges.

 a three-dimensional shape;   one or more grooves;   wherein the shape comprises an empty space, and the empty space is adjacent to one or more surfaces associated with the shape; and   wherein the one or more grooves are on the one or more surfaces, and at least a portion of the empty space is adjacent to the one or more grooves.   
     
     
         2 . The support of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 another shape, wherein at least a portion of the other shape is in contact with at least a portion of the one or more grooves, thereby coupling the shape and the other shape.   
     
     
         3 . The support of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more grooves comprise at least two grooves. 
     
     
         4 . The support of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more grooves comprise at least three grooves. 
     
     
         5 . The support of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 wherein one end of at least one groove from among the one or more grooves is near or flush with an opening associated with the shape; and   wherein the empty space is accessible via the opening.   
     
     
         6 . The support of  claim 1 , wherein the shape resembles a cone, the shape comprises an opening into the empty space, the opening is located at a top associated with the shape, the one or more grooves are placed closer to the top than to a bottom associated with the shape, and a cross section associated with the top is bigger in size than a cross section associated with the bottom. 
     
     
         7 . The support of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 one or more floral items, each comprising a stem-like or stalk-like structure, wherein the stem-like or stalk-like structure comprises a part having a cross section smaller than another part associated with the stem-like or stalk-like structure, and is connected to a flower or a node, and the other part associated with the stem-like or stalk-like structure is closer to the flower or the node than the part is; and   wherein the one or more floral items are connected to the shape, having at least a portion of the part associated with each of the one or more floral items fits into the empty space.   
     
     
         8 . The support of  claim 7 , wherein at least a portion of the part associated with the stem-like or stalk-like structure is off-center in relation to a center of the other part associated with the stem-like or stalk-like structure. 
     
     
         9 . The support of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a plurality of floral items, each comprising a stem-like or stalk-like structure;   wherein the one or more grooves correspond to the plurality of floral items in quantity; and   wherein the one or more floral items are connected to the shape, having at least a portion of the stem-like or stalk-like structure associated with each of the one or more floral items fits into the empty space.   
     
     
         10 . The support of  claim 9 , wherein the portion of the stem-like or stalk-like structure associated with each of the one or more floral items is coupled to a groove from among the one or more grooves. 
     
     
         11 . The support of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 wherein the shape comprises a cross section resembling a polygon; and   wherein the shape comprises another cross section, and the other cross section is smaller in size than the cross section.   
     
     
         12 . The support of  claim 11 , wherein the shape comprises an opening, the empty space is accessible via the opening, and the cross section is closer to the opening than the other cross sections is. 
     
     
         13 . The support of  claim 12 , wherein a portion associated with the shape is hollower than another portion, the portion being associated with the cross section, and the other portion being associated with the other cross section. 
     
     
         14 . The support of  claim 13 , wherein the shape comprises synthetic material. 
     
     
         15 . A device for holding one or more floral items, comprising:
 a three-dimensional shape;   two or more ridges or grooves;   wherein the shape comprises an empty space, and the empty space is adjacent to one or more surfaces associated with the shape; and   wherein the one or more surfaces comprise the one or more ridges or grooves.   
     
     
         16 . A system for connecting one or more floral items comprising:
 a three-dimensional shape;   one or more ridges;   another shape;   wherein the shape comprises an empty space, and the empty space is adjacent to one or more surfaces associated with the shape;   wherein the other shape comprises a cross section; and   wherein the one or more ridges are on the one or more surfaces, at least a portion of the empty space is adjacent to the one or more ridges, and at least a portion of the other shape is in contact with at least a portion of the one or more ridges.   
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 16 , wherein the other shape comprises a curvature, and at least a portion of the curvature is exposed outside the shape. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 16 , further comprising:
 wherein the other shape comprises another cross section, and the cross section comprises an area less than that of the other cross section; and   wherein a part associated with the cross section is in more contact with the one or more ridges than another part associated with the other cross section, the other shape comprising the part and the other part.   
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 18 , wherein the other shape comprises one or more faux floral items, and the one or more faux floral items are placed closer to the other part than to the part. 
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 19 , wherein the other shape comprises a curvature, and at least a portion of the curvature is exposed outside the shape.
