These are just picked gerberas. We pick them - pluck them really as no cutting implement is used to pick them. We do then cut about 1/2 an inch from the bottom of each stem, and put them in buckets of fresh water. They are carried into the work room and then each flower is checked, and placed in a plastic "cup", then we make up "bunches" of five flowers of the same colour, place two rubber bands on the stems to hold them firmly, and put in a bucket with special product to preserve the flowers. When counted they are placed in the cold room, ready for delivery to the florists on delivery day.
