cut flower

Stem from garden

A cut flower is a flower that has been severed from its plant for display or arrangement.

Cut flowers are sold by florists and given as gifts, typically placed in vases with water to extend their life: The dining table held a vase of fresh cut flowers.

The term distinguishes decorative blooms from potted plants or flowers left growing in gardens.
