Flexible vase

A floral holding material for supporting a sheet of fluid impermeable material such that the floral holding material, in combination with the sheet of fluid impermeable material, defines a reservoir capable of receiving at least a lower portion of stems of a floral grouping and a liquid whereby the liquid is maintained about at least the lower portion of the stems of the floral grouping, the floral holding material comprising:

• a shape-sustaining support member having an open upper end, an open lowerend, a peripheral sidewall and an internal opening defined by peripheral sidewall and extending between the open upper end and the open lower end such that, upon positioning the sheet of fluid-impermeable material about the shape-sustaining support member, the sheet of fluid-impermeable material and the shape-sustaining support member cooperate to convert the internal opening of the shape-sustaining support member into the reservoir of the floral holding material.

A decorative cover formed of a sheet of fluid impermeable material and a floral holding material, the floral holding material comprising:

• a shape-sustaining support member having an open upper end, an open lower end, a peripheral side wall and an internal opening defined by the peripheral side wall and extending between the open upper end and the lower open end of the shape-sustaining support member such that, upon securing the sheet of fluid impermeable material about the shape-sustaining support member, the sheet of fluid impermeable material cooperates with the opening in the shape-sustaining material to provide a reservoir capable of receiving a liquid and at least a lower portion of stems of a floral grouping, the sheet of fluid impermeable material being sized such that, upon securing the sheet of fluid impermeable material about the shape-sustaining support member, a portion of the decorative cover so formed extends above the open upper end of the shape-sustaining support member and at least a portion of the open upper end of the shape-sustaining support member remains uncovered by the decorative cover.
