Abstract: A transport container for cut flowers includes at least one substantially watertight first container part (10) for receiving stems of cut flowers and a second container part (30), which at least during transport at least largely surrounds the cut flowers. The second container part includes a hollow base portion (20) which substantially receives the first container part on an upper surface thereof. The manually removable base portion (20) connects with a bottom of the second container part (30) and surrounds the cut flowers at least over a part of their length. Optionally, a collar element (40) is placed on the sleeve element.

Abstract: A transport container for cut flowers and a component to be used therewith, Namely a transport container for cut flowers comprising at least one substantially watertight first container part (10) for receiving stems of cut flowers as well as a second container part (30), which at least during transport at least largely surrounds the cut flowers. 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. Optionally a collar element can be placed on the sleeve element.
