fresh flowers

Recently picked blossoms

Fresh flowers are cut blooms that haven't wilted or dried—flowers recently harvested and still vibrant.

The phrase distinguishes living arrangements from artificial or preserved alternatives: She prefers fresh flowers to silk ones.

Florists and grocery stores sell fresh flowers, typically lasting days to a week in a vase.
