Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a container (1) serving as a substantially closed fluid reservoir for feeding a cut flower (5). The container (1) comprises a container wall (2) formed from a sheet material, the container wall (2) being provided with an aperture structure (3) for receiving a stem end of a flower (5), wherein the container (1) is integrally formed. The invention also relates to a method of providing a container. The method includes the steps of providing a strip of sheet material, creating an aperture structure for receiving a stem end of a flower in the container, folding the sheet over in overlapping arrangement, such that free ends of the folded sheet are contiguous at a bottom of the container, and connecting bottom and longitudinal edges of the folded sheet to form the substantially closed fluid reservoir.
