The white or green foam material is floral styrofoam. They come in shapes - like hearts, cones, stars, cross, etc., and they come in boards usually 12 inches wide, 36"long and in 1", 2" or 4" thickness.
These are the type that you can't soak in water because these were designed for silk or dried flowers and foliages. These also come in bricks 3" X 4" X8". You can find these in any craft stores or your local florist. The more famous brand names for the brick type foam are Oasis and Capri.
The other type of foam is the floral foam for fresh flowers. These are the type that you should soak in water. If you gently drop the foam on water and let it absorb water by itself, in 3-10 minutes, the foam should be fully saturated with water and can be used for your flower arrangement. The brand names are also Oasis, Capri and Aquafoam.

There are two types of foam. One is called oasis, and the other is a flower craft foam. One is used for fresh flowers, and has to be soaked in water first. Be sure to tell the salesperson at the craft store which kind you want.
