- 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the sheet of material is connected to the header assembly via a bonding material selected from the group consisting of adhesives, cohesives, and combinations thereof.
- 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of disposing the sheet of material about at least a portion of the floral grouping includes the step of overlapping at least a portion of the sheet of material over at least another portion of the sheet of material to form at least one crimped portion such that the sheet of material is secured about at least a portion of the floral grouping.
- 9. A method as defined in claim 1, wherein the floral grouping has a lower portion and an upper portion, and wherein the respective sheet of material is disposed about the floral grouping such that the respective sheet of material is tightly wrapped about the lower portion of the floral grouping and loosely wrapped about the upper portion of the floral grouping.
