Which of the following words is NOT included in the acronym FLOSS related to floral arrangements?

  1. Fresh

  2. Local

  3. Synthetic

  4. Sustainable

The correct answer is: Synthetic

The acronym FLOSS, which pertains to floral arrangements, stands for Fresh, Local, Organic, Sustainable, and is often used in the context of encouraging the use of these types of flowers in floral design. The word "synthetic" does not fit within this framework, as FLOSS focuses on natural and environmentally friendly sources of materials. In this context, the inclusion of "fresh," "local," and "sustainable" aligns with the principles of promoting flowers that are ecologically responsible and support local growers. "Organic" also highlights a commitment to using non-chemical practices in agriculture. Since synthetic options are typically associated with artificial materials, they do not conform to the ethos represented by the acronym FLOSS.
