Cut flowers are a popular way to decorate homes and special events. They are typically purchased from florists or grown in gardens. Cut flowers are composed of glads, stems, and asters. Glads are a type of flower with long, thin petals that come in a variety of colors. Stems are the part of the flower that connects it to the plant and provides support. Asters are a type of flower with a star-shaped center surrounded by petals. All three components are necessary for a cut flower to be complete.
