The wrapper of claim 1, wherein the detaching element is a line of perforations. 3. The wrapper of claim 1, further comprising a bonding material disposed upon a portion of the at least two segments for bondingly sealing the at least one overlapping portions. 4. The wrapper of claim 1, further comprising a bonding material disposed upon the upper end of the at least two segments for bondingly connecting the upper end of the at least two segments. 5. The wrapper of claim 2, wherein the line of perforations is selected from the group consisting of arcuate, wavy, irregular, sinusoidal, toothed, zig-zagged, and otherwise non-linear, and straight, and combinations thereof. 6. The wrapper of claim 1, having four segments. 7. A method of wrapping a flower pot, comprising the steps of: providing a sheet of material having a central base portion and at least two segments extending away from the central base portion, each segment having a first side, a second side, an upper end, an upper portion, a lower portion, and a detaching element disposed between the upper portion and the lower portion, the upper portion being removable from the lower portion via the detaching element; and forming the at least two segments of the sheet of material about a flower pot such that each of the at least two segments overlap forming at least one overlapping portion and the flower pot is covered by the lower portion of the at least two segments and the upper portion of the at least two segments extends a distance above an upper end of the flower pot. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein a seal is formed between the at least one overlapping portion. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein the seal is formed by joining the at least one overlapping portion via a bonding material disposed on at least a portion of the at least two segments. 10. The method of claim 8, wherein the seal is formed by heat sealing. 11. The method of claim 7, wherein the detaching element is a line of perforations. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein the line of perforations is selected from the group consisting of lines of perforation, the group of lines of perforations consisting of arcuate, wavy, irregular, sinusoidal, toothed, zig-zagged, and otherwise non-linear, and straight, and combinations thereof. 13. The method of claim 7, having three segments. 14. The method of claim 7, having four segments. 15. The method of claim 7, wherein the sheet of material is manually formed about the flower pot. 16.
