主权项

1. An apparatus for hydrating flowers, comprising:
a liquid retaining wrap comprised of a single sheet of absorbent material configured to retain liquid that is delimited by a first sidewall having a first end and a second end, a second sidewall having a first end and a second end and extending substantially perpendicular from the second end of the first sidewall, a third sidewall having a first end and a second end and extending at a first angle from the second end of the second sidewall, a fourth sidewall having a first end and a second end and extending at a second angle from the second end of the third sidewall and a fifth sidewall having a first end and a second end and extending substantially at an angle from the second end of the fourth sidewall and substantially perpendicular to the first end of the first sidewall, wherein the wrap includes a first portion having a substantially triangular shape extending between the second end of the second sidewall and the first end of the fifth sidewall toward an apex formed between the second end of the third sidewall and the first end of the fourth sidewall and a second portion having a substantially rectangular shape extending between the second end of the second sidewall and the first end of the fifth sidewall toward the first sidewall, and wherein at least the first portion of the wrap is adaptable to directly contact a distal end of each one of a plurality of stems of the flowers.
