Organza bags. On Amazon. Very cheap. Made in China, shipped direct to your mailbox. I like 4x5 inches. Just bought 1000. Ran around $40. They come with drawstrings to cinch snugly around the stem. Reusable, not harmed by moisture. I think the largest I saw was around 10x12 inches. I got a few for enclosing an entire amaryllis head. Best wishes, Bill the Bulb Baron (William R.P.
