I have this cake (picture below message)to finish and I don't have time to make gumpaste flowers, like I wanted to. So...does anyone have any ideas of how I could put fresh flowers in this? I am going to crush Oreos for the dirt. I'll sprinkle that inside the bottom of the barrel and then add flowers to the top. Can I wrap some styrofoam in saranwrap(place under the oreos) and poke fresh flowers into that? Has anyone tried anything like this? I hope this is making sense... I'd rather not do silk flowers..as they just aren't quite as nice...and anyone have suggestions of what kind of flowers to do?? 
I think I'm tired and just ...braindead....sigh. I appreciate ANY and ALL ideas...thanks so much!!

I know there are LOTS of good ideas floating out there! Share them! 
I am going to the store today and need help before that! Thank you thank you thank you!
Here is the list of non-toxic flowers if that helps.

Your idea sounds fine, just mound your oreos so that the center of the flower arrangement is taller than the outsides.
Your idea sounds fine. Why don't you just put the oreos and then the flowers. The flowers should be fine in the cake. Check out the list of safe flowers and go from there.
As Schmoop said I would be worried with the styrofoam and everything being way too tall.
