    Abstract: A flexible vase that is suspendible from a smooth surface is disclosed. The vase is formed by a watertight pouch that has an open mouth for receiving flowers. The pouch is formed by sealing the edges of two layers of flexible, watertight materials together. One of the pouch layers extends beyond the other at the mouth to form a flap. The flap has an oval button hole. The vase also uses a suction cup that may be mounted to a smooth surface. The back of the cup has a button and a shaft between the button and the back of the cup. The pouch may be removably suspendible from the suction cup by stretching the oval button hole over the button and onto the shaft. The vase may also have a transparent pocket for receiving a card. The vase may also be dispensed from a perforated roll of two-ply material such as polyethylene.
