Le vase est destiné à recevoir des fleurs mais un seul bouquet, d'où les pluriels à "fleurs" et le singulier à "bouquet". Au Canada, on utilise "pot de fleurs" pour désigner à la fois les contenants de fleurs coupées et ceux de plants verts ou à fleurs. C'est là une imprécision. Par contre, on désigne plus précisément "pot à fleurs" le vase destiné à contenir des fleurs et "pot de fleurs", celui qui en contient déjà. 2, record 9, French, - vase
