The second container part comprises a hollow base portion (20) into which from an upper surface thereof, the at least one first container portion (10) is substantially received. At its upper surface, the manually removable base portion (20) is connected with a hollow container element (30) extending from the upper surface of the base portion and able to surround the cut flowers at least over a part of their length.
