A suspension strap is attached to the sleeve member to allow it to be hung off the headrest of a car seat.

A sleeve apparatus retaining at least two bouquets of cut stems of plants, the bouquets being of different size with respect to each other, the apparatus comprising:
- a) a sleeve member having an open top and an open bottom, said open top of a size sufficient to support by engagement with edges defining the open top, a bouquet of cut stems of a relative largest size which is receivable within the sleeve member through the open top, in a manner to keep the bouquet of cut stems from slipping through the sleeve member through the open bottom as a result of engagement with the edges defining the open top;
- b) a first bouquet of cut stems received within the sleeve member through the open top, said first bouquet being of a size sufficient to engage the edges defining the open top and be supported thereby to keep the first bouquet from slipping through the sleeve member and through the open bottom;
- c) a first cutout slot in a wall of the sleeve member of a size sufficient to receive a second bouquet of cut stems of a size smaller than the bouquet of relative largest size, within the sleeve member in a manner supported by edges defining the first cutout slot to prevent the second bouquet from falling through the sleeve member and through the open bottom of the sleeve member, as a result of engagement with the edges defining the first cutout slot;
- d) a second bouquet of cut stems received within the sleeve member through the first cutout slot, said second bouquet being of a size sufficient wherein it is supported by the edges defining the first cutout slot preventing the second bouquet from slipping through the sleeve member and through the open bottom of the sleeve member, as a result of engagement with the edges defining the first cutout slot;
- and
