Flower bouquet apparatus

A method of making a spiral shaped flower bouquet from multiple flowers in an apparatus comprising

• a) a first gripper system comprising at least two gripping elements, wherein each gripping element comprises a brush head comprising multiple bristles and is movable from a first position where the multiple bristles of each brush head are entangled and forms a mesh to a second position where the multiple bristles of each brush head are remote from each other, wherein said multiple bristles when in the first position are capable of holding the stems of the flowers in the mesh at a desired position and height without breaking the stems,
• b) a second gripper comprising at least two soft finger means, wherein each soft finger mean is movable in a substantially horizontal plane from a first position remote from each other to a second position creating a defined space between the at least two soft finger means, which defined space is adapted to hold the stems in the desired position and height, without breaking the stems, and wherein the second gripper when in the second position is movable in a substantially vertical direction to position the stems in a desired position,
• c) a removable elongated rod-shaped element having an axis wherein at least a part of the axis is adapted to be positioned in a center of the mesh of the entangled multiple bristles when said multiple bristles are in the first position and wherein the axis is substantially perpendicular to the entangled multiple bristles, wherein the elongated rod-shaped element extends through the defined space between the at least two soft finger means of the second gripper, and wherein said elongated rod-shaped element is for ensuring that the flower stems are not crossing each other, and
• d) a rotatable container having a space surrounded by a wall and an opening, wherein the opening faces the first gripper system when in a first position and the second gripper when in a second position and is adapted to receive the ends of the stems inside the container, wherein at least a part of the space is adapted to receive and hold the ends of the stems wherein the wall surrounding the space has an oval shape, and wherein the container is adapted to rotate clock-wise or counter clock-wise relative to the axis of the elongated rod-shaped element when positioned in the center of the mesh to create the spiral shaped flower bouquet;
• inserting each flower stem at a desired height and orientation inside the entangled mesh,
• holding the flowers softly with the second gripper in the second position,
• rotating the inserted flowers by the rotatable container while they are held by the second gripper in the second position to create the spiral shaped flower bouquet, and
• fastening the spiral shaped flower bouquet.
