They send a chemical signal down the stem that tells the plant to keep them growing, while it impedes the growth of flowers lower down on the stem. For instance, if you cut off the head of a big sunflower the plant will start growing lots of small sunflowers out the sides but not again on the top. Awesome bottles, by the way. I love glassware and alcohol companies that can appreciate good design. I believe the deal with flowers is that the buds at the end of the stem have growing priority.
