Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2002519042
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A transportable floral holder in the nature of a wettable floral foam mass received within a water impervious shell, or sheath. The floral foam mass serves as a reservoir as well as a coupling device. The shell not only circumscribes the floral foam reservoir but also has oppositely disposed, open first and second ends. The open first end serves primarily to permit the cut stem bearing buds, blossoms and/or leaves to be inserted into a first implanting area of the floral foam mass so that the cut stem is provided with access to moisture that will extend the life of the attached buds, blossoms and/or leaves. The oppositely directed second open end of the shell primarily permits a bare cut stem to be inserted into a second implanting area of the floral foam mass, thereby allowing the shell encased floral foam mass to serve as a coupler that camouflages the fact that the stems have been cut so that the overall appearance of the floral presentation simulates an uncut, long stemmed bouquet in the nature of a sheaf that one can carry, or support, across the crook of an arm.
