D'emblée, les quatre termes n'apparaissent pas synonymes l'un de l'autre; ils ne le sont pas de façon absolue mais demeurent chacun, équivalent de «cut flowers». Des expressions comme «le marché de la fleur coupée», «la production de fleurs coupées» et «la culture de fleurs coupées» ou «la culture de la fleur coupée» illustrent bien que le collectif singulier «fleur coupée» porte la même notion que le pluriel «fleurs coupées». 2, record 2, French, - fleurs%20coup%C3%A9es
