A flexible wire retainer for use in attaching a lid to an accompanying flower container while the container is being used to hold and display a flower arrangement. The wire retainer is formed into a special shape that includes a U-shaped portion that can be conveniently placed beneath and retained by a recess on the lid's underside. The retainer further includes a pair of integral shafts that can project through the container opening to engage and be supported by a conventional foam block located within the container.
