Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03039241A1] The invention concerns a method which consists in positioning the plants (2) constituting the bouquet in a receptacle (1), and in intertwining the stems of said plants before completely bundling the stems on a specific zone of their height, to obtain a round bouquet . The process for bundling the plants may be carried out manually, but is preferably performed by automatic means. After the plant stems have been mechanically bundled, the method consists in automated setting of an attachment or ligature around said stems, on the bundling zone or proximate to said zone. Preferably, the inventive method consists in mechanically twisting or curling the base of the bouquet, while using the means for bundling the plant stems to obtain a round bouquet with a curled base , The invention concerns also the installation for implementing the method, to obtain floral bouquets, and in particular round bouquets with curled base .
