Cut Flowers
Cut flowers are flowers that have been removed from the parent plant. They play an important role in the floriculture industry, as they are the most widely used of the four basic groups. Many are utilized with stem and foliage still attached. Some are presented in clusters, while others appear as a single stem.

Cut Foliage
Cut foliage is greenery used to enhance and fill voids in an arrangement. The greenery will typically outlive the flowers themselves. The type of greenery used for each arrangement varies depending on the season. Myrtle, leatherleaf, and emerald are all examples of commonly used cut foliage.

Flowering Potted Plants
Potted foliage plants are typically bought as gifts. These are easily dressed up in baskets or foil and can have a multitude of add-ons such as balloons or candy. Some are only available during certain seasons, such as the poinsettia in the winter or Easter lilies in the spring. Other common potted plants include cyclamens, begonias, and azaleas.

Potted Foliage Plants
Potted foliage plants may be preferred due to their low maintenance and longevity. Commonly, smaller foliage plants are planted together to create dish gardens. They are also very popular in creating fairy gardens.

3. Describe the difference between cut flower, cut foliage, flowering potted plants, and green potted plants.
Cut Flowers are the flowers that have been removed from its parent plant. Cut foliage is greenery used to enhance and fill voids in an arrangement. Flowering potted plants are typically bought as gifts, some (poinsettia, Easter lily) are available seasonally, other examples include cyclamens, begonias, and azaleas. Potted Foliage Plants are low maintenance and long-lasting, sometimes planted together to create dish gardens, used in creating fairy gardens.
4. Define annual, biennial, and perennial.
Annuals come up from seed, bloom, set seed and die in one year Perennials come up year after year, usually dying back to the ground and regenerating at the base Biennials come up from seed, grows for a year, die back and bloom the second year
