Abstract:

A floral kit and method including an open-mouthed container, a support and a rectangular box for holding a gift. The container holds a bouquet of flowers with their stalks projecting through the open mouth. The support has an upper cradle portion joined to a leg that projects downwardly from the cradle portion. The cradle portion includes back, bottom, front, and edges portions that cooperatively define a pocket with an opening of a predetermined size. The leg has a length sufficient to extend into the open mouth of the container to position the cradle portion of the support adjacent to the open mouth of the container. The box, for example a jewel box for a compact disk, is sized to fit at least partially within the cradle portion of the retainer. A block of floral foam can be removably positioned within the container for receiving and supporting the ends of the flower stalks to position the blossoms of the flowers positioned outside of the container.
