Hi, everyone. Thanks for all the tries.
These are not the "phal" heavy wire stakes with a bent hook that Brooke and others mentioned.
These are wooden stakes with a thin, tough, straight wire about 6 or maybe 8 inches or so long sticking out of one end. This thin wire can be looped four or five times around the last third or so of a spike and bent to hold the spike in the position you want it in.
The wire is so tough it's hard to unbend and you have to cut it to remove it from the spike, and it's practically invisible on the spike because it's so thin.
I did check Tindara's, but I didn't see them there, tho they have nice long sturdy sticks.
I suppose I could drill a hole and stick a wire thru it, but it seems a lot of to-do when they are available for sale somewhere. Norman's Orchids uses them to support spikes, so they're out there.
I think the people talking about flower arrangement/craft stores are probably on the money-- it's the sort of thing you would use for flower arrangements, for sure.
Thanks anyhow, tho
