  • Patent number: 5477637
    Abstract: The invention provides a system comprising a separator device used in conjunction with a tying device to hold flowers in a bouquet in a manner so as to make the bouquet larger and seem fuller and more voluminous. The separator of the invention separates the floral stems and forces them outwardly by means of angled holes. The tying device holds the stems of the flowers together at a point below the separator. The overall effect is that the flowers of the bouquet are held in a position so that the top of the bouquet is larger than standard bouquets.
