  Plant holder for photography

• Definition

  Devices, such as those shown here, can be used to secure plants in fixed positions to make it easy to photograph them. Note that the alligator clamp at the end of a flexible wire can either be attached to a branch or the base can be coiled into a circle and the device placed on the ground or another object.
