if i remember rightly mediums are what you use to arrange flowers in eg oasis, soil, moss.

I agree with you and sosas, they are all the "seen" mechanics but now for some stange reason I am picturing them in the centre of a table with florists seated around it holding hands And some of the chippings seem to be floating

Mediums ar the materials into which the flowers are arranged. Oasis, Soil, Sand, Glass Chippings, Wax is now very popular (Gregor Lersch etc.) Water of course.

Different methods of attachment could also be considered for a more in depth report. Splitting stems and binding to the edge of containers, twigs as a mesh, wire grids etc. Hope that helps!
