Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The optimum method to transport anywhere from one bouquet, two bouquets, or too many to count, is in a bucket filled with water. This way, they will be hydrated and can remain in an upright position.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sea shipments considerably reduce transportation cost (to about 50% compared to air transportation) and provide much more flexibility and satisfy the need for increased transportation capacity especially during holydays (Valentine’s day, mother’s day).

Detailed explanation-3: -Cut flowers have to be transported quickly using a “cold-chain” – a series of refrigerated facilities on farms, lorries, planes, and boats – which put the flowers into a dormant state, so they stay fresh.

Detailed explanation-4: -For sturdier flowering plants, cut pieces are typically transported in flat boxes. These boxes allow more items to be transported in smaller spaces within aircraft and other transport vehicles. In some cases, the flowers are rather delicate and must be not be kept out of the water from extended periods.
