The basis not necessarily has to be ideally equal, all errors will hide flowers. Put oasis in water. After it completely becomes damp, slightly wring out it. Put flowers in water that they have become impregnated with moisture, then stir up. Cut off excess part of stalk secateurs or scissors, leaving scape 3-5 cm long.

Distribute them evenly on sphere surface. Insert smaller flowers and greens into intervals between them.
