OR... if you don't have a van or Bronco, then you can use the kathyguest
method. Takes time, but well worth it.
Get some paper box carton lids or a similar long shallow box and lay some
string across it so that it's taut - about 3 -- evenly placed -- should do it.
Now, take your TB bloom and position it so that the terminal flower is off the
end of the lid and the branches fall between the strings. Secure the stalk
with masking tape onto the string.....
You can lay more than one stalk by alternating orientation. If you have a
long way to go, fit some wet paper towel protected by a baggie over the end of
the stalks.
And - finally - if the branches look like they'll bounce into each other, make
wedges of light cardboard... with a "v" shaped notch in each end and fit those
between the branch and the stalk or between whatever is bouncing.
WAHLA
Kathyguest... who says it's really no more time-consuming than the other
methods.
