Floral display case

A display case for cut flowers, said case having a back wall and an open front, a plurality of elongated tubular manifolds extending substantially horizontally and parallel to one another and being spaced-apart in upwardly terraced relationship from said open front toward said back wall, each said manifold having a plurality of spaced-apart upwardly facing openings therein for receiving and supporting stem portions of cut flower bouquets, water supply means for supplying water to each of said manifolds, and water level control means for maintaining a predetermined water level in each of said manifolds.
