Abstract (en)

[origin: FR2780040A1] The container consists of a watertight holder (1) filled with a moisture retaining material (2) to receive the lower ends of the plant stems, and translucent cover (3) with a perforated end wall (4) which goes over the flower heads and upper stems and clips onto the holder. After the cover has been removed to display the flowers it can be inverted and used as a stand in which the holder is inserted. Both the holder and cover can be made in a variety of shapes, including rectangular, round or polygonal in cross-section, and manufactured from reusable or recyclable materials.
