Yep what Chad said. Basically the rule is whatever you lay down first is going to be the highest in your marble. So I lay down the inside layer of petals first and implode those a tiny bit, then the stamen, then the outer layer of petals and so on.
Also, regarding flopping. I attach a 10mm rod to a 16mm rod and burn off a couple of inches of the 16mm rod to work with but I don't use the entire 16mm when I make my maria. This avoids the flopping around and also avoids using the glass where it is joined to the handle. If it does start flopping on you hold it upright and let it center back on the base.
