What a substitute flower costs in stems and money when the original is unavailable, by size ratio and price.

Stems in the original order

Price per stem of the original

Your own figure.

Price per stem of the substitute

Your own figure.

Substitute head size divided by the original head size times

A substitute head that is 90 percent of the original is 0.9. Face area, and therefore visual mass, scales with the square of this figure.

What are you matching?

Match mass for a massed design and head count for a counted one. A counted bouquet sold as twelve roses has to stay at twelve.

Waste allowance on the substitute %
