A method of covering a floral grouping by providing a wrap constructed of a flat sheet of material, the wrap having an opening disposed within the sheet of material, and inserting a portion of a floral grouping through the opening in the wrap, and wrapping the wrap about the floral grouping.

1 . A method of wrapping a floral grouping, comprising:
 providing a floral grouping;   providing a wrap comprising a flat sheet of material, the wrap having an upper surface, a lower surface, an outer periphery and an opening in the wrap spaced a distance inwardly from the outer periphery;   inserting a portion of the floral grouping into the opening in the wrap wherein the portion of the floral grouping extends a distance from the lower surface of the wrap;   forming the wrap about the floral grouping to encompass at least a portion of an upper end of the floral grouping wherein a plurality of overlapping folds are formed in the wrap, and wherein the portion the floral grouping remains extended a distance from the opening of the wrap; and   securing the wrap about the floral grouping by disposing a banding element about a portion of the wrap, wherein the banding element is selected from the group consisting of ties, wires, labels, rubber bands, elastic bands, non-rubber bands, non-elastic bands, ribbons, springs, clips, twist ties, strings, twines, tapes, staples, collars, plastic strips, plastic tubes, dead fold materials, resilient or stretchy materials, shrink materials, heat shrink materials, chemically shrinkable materials, cold seal materials, sonic sealable materials, vibratory sealable materials, heat sealing lacquers, hot melt materials, welded materials, chemical welding materials, magnetic materials, mechanical or barb-type fastening materials or clamps, curl materials, springs, cling films, and combinations thereof.   
   
   
       2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the wrap is tightly formed about a portion of the floral grouping. 
   
   
       3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the wrap is loosely formed about the upper end of the floral grouping. 
   
   
       4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the opening is positioned in a substantially central portion of the wrap. 
   
   
       5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the flat sheet of material used to construct the wrap is constructed of material selected from the group consisting of treated paper, untreated paper, foil, synthetic polymeric film, natural polymeric film, natural fabric, synthetic fabric, burlap, denim, cling material, a shape-sustaining material, and combinations thereof.
