Flower Frogs

I first read about flower frogs in the chapter about Dorothy Twining Globus (a megacollector) in Mitch Tuchman's Magnificent Obsessions. Interestingly, she has several flower frogs, but considers them an accumulation rather than a collection, such as:
Doorstops, which inspired my Whimsical Doorstop Collection
Cigarette Cards
Globes (because her last name is Globus)
and many more than I can list here.

So what, exactly, are flower frogs?
Flower frogs are objects for keeping flower stems in place.They're made to to be placed in the bottom of a vase, and can be reused. For this reason, many  florists use them now instead of floral foam.

And flower frogs are also my 120th collection, started this morning.
