Cut flowers are
flowers or
flower buds (often with some
stem and
leaf) that have been cut from the plant bearing it. It is usually removed from the plant for indoor decorative use. Typical uses are in
vase displays,
wreaths and
garlands. Many gardeners harvest their own cut flowers from domestic gardens, but there is a significant commercial market and supply industry for cut flowers in most countries. The plants cropped vary by climate, culture and the level of wealth locally. Often the plants are raised specifically for the purpose, in field or glasshouse growing conditions. Cut flowers can also be harvested from the wild.
