Abstract
The present invention discloses a flower vase containing an inflatable balloon bouquet. The flower vase contains a source of air for inflating the balloons positioned near the bottom of the vase being connected to an upwardly standing air cylinder whereby the balloon bouquet stems are pushed upwardly through the air cylinder somewhat as an internal combustion piston passing through its cylinder. Means are provided for transferring gas from the gas canister through apertures in the wall of the air cylinder and thereafter through apertures in the hollow stems of the balloons and thereafter into the balloons themselves so that the balloons become inflated.
