Abstract
A flower pot or flower pot cover comprising a base and a skirt connected to an upper end of the base. The base includes a plurality of overlapping folds for providing structural integrity. The base is divided into a plurality of segments with each segment extending generally between the upper and the lower end of the base and each segment extending a distance circumferentially about the base. The overlapping folds in some of the segments are connected and the overlapping folds in the remaining segments are unconnected to provide an overall pleated appearance.
