That effort and the art is no different from the craft put into turning out gum paste flowers to decorate cakes except the skill put into it by the poor artisans are intended for even poorer souls.

My home will not be graced those ceramic flowers, apparently a relatively new wave and gaining patronage by the chichi crowd, but I admire the effort and the art that shaped those, especially the hyper real ones. Besides, they must command a good price.

“That freedom to stylishly deviate from reality is one of the things that is distinguishing the new wave of faux flowers. As floral designer Livia Cetti says, “The joy of this craft is both studying nature up close to create true-to-life flowers and running wild with your imagination, using nature only as a guide.””

Why Faux Flowers Are Really Chic:

Footloose, yipes, not my type. Perhaps folks like that they don’t have to trim them, add water, etc.?!?

First time for me to see this spectacular colour combination of rose (top shot). Makers of permanent flowers are always just a few steps behind natural horticultural breeders, you know, much like pathogens vis a vis disease control scientists. But what gives me pause are the maker of artificial ones in traditional art materials such as ceramics. Why are their products held in much higher esteem when they are still fakes? see https://www.thevladimircollection.com/

Oh, how beautiful! By the Seine, there is a building with a wall of ferns, moss, and other greens.. What building is that, MM? Anyone?

If I were living in Paris or anywhere else outside the Philippines, a calamansi plant would really come in handy. I would miss having calamansi-toyo or calamansi-patis for my sawsawan. I have a friend who brings calamansi to Hong Kong whenever they are there for vacation. She prefers calamansi-toyo for dipping for dimsum.
