quicko: bouquets

There's this fad (I hope it's a fad) these days that I'm not so happy about.  It's the fad of putting bouquets in boxes.  It seems to be quite popular in Sydney, but I just don't like it.  The flowers, granted, are easier to carry and display "as is," but it just seems less classy.  I'd much rather carry around a real bouquet and then put the flowers in a real vase at home, wouldn't you?

Are we talking the situation where the stems are stuck in a hard foam type of support at the base of the box? If the box is water-tight then it makes an ideal way to send flowers to someone at their work where there might not be any vases.

If my mental image accords with what you're talking about (may or may not be the same as above) then I think they can look good that way. But then maybe I'm just used to it. :-)
