I don't know what it is but I think it looks quite realistic.

Re: Faux Plants or Flowers
Your faux plants look very nice Pauline. I wasn't a fan until lockdown but they do some very real looking ones these days.I love having a bouquet of fresh cut flowers. Usually tulips when in season. Or long-stem roses when not. Very uplifting. They generally last all week.
I used to love dried flowers but I found it annoying there's no way to get the dust off. At least with the faux version you don't end up destroying the look of them when you clean them.

Thanks Annie...very true about dried flowers, what do you think of these Orchids?
Excuse the mess on my chest of drawers,I’m busy cleaning this bedroom.
I too was not a fan of faux flowers or plants years ago, but nowadays they look so real....look at the one Carol posted.
I love cut roses as well...always cut the end stems at an angle, otherwise the heads go over, do you find that?

Sweet sue, be warned, I left that fern to gather dust, it was a snowstorm affect, when I eventually cleaned / washed.
I must say I too don’t like seeing those plastic flowers on graves, especially after being there for years. with all the fading where the sun has been beating down on them...all the elements of the weather take a toll on them.
