2365 Wolf ’21 Male Flower Transporter
It may seem easy, just bring the flowers home, but when traveling and the goal to keep the flowers in water while also reducing the chance of tipping over can be quite a challenge. This stacking container system proved effective and ensured no damage to the flowers.
The outside is a standard 5-gallon pail and then progressively smaller buckets are placed inside until the final water pitcher is the inner most container that contains the water and male flowers.
This is a rare, valuable and delicate cargo so care must be taken to ensure it is not damaged.
