A "cut flower" refers to a flower that has been cut from its plant for decorative purposes. These flowers are often used in arrangements, bouquets, or as single stems in vases. Common types of cut flowers include roses, tulips, and lilies, which are popular for their beauty and fragrance. Cut flowers are typically harvested at their peak bloom to ensure they last longer after being cut. They require proper care, such as fresh water and appropriate lighting, to maintain their freshness. Many people enjoy using cut flowers to enhance the aesthetics of their homes or to celebrate special occasions.
