ABSTRACT:
A plant receptacle for storing and displaying plant material, such as a balled plant enclosed in burlap, comprises an inverted cup-like body of polymeric or plastics material having a flexible center portion adapted to change, in response to the weight of a balled plant placed thereon, from a convex shape to a concave shape. An outer circumferential lip or skirt portion depending from the central portion substantially retains its shape, in response to the flexure of the central portion, to provide vertical and lateral support for the central portion, thereby forming a saucer or cavity for capturing and retaining moisture while the balled plant is positioned therein. The central portion forming the saucer is provided with a series of integral and radially spaced barbs for engaging the burlap to stabilize the balled plant in a vertical upright position.
