 The girls and their wonderful daddy bought me some while on vacation in Utah this summer. I adored them for all of the 5 days that I had them and then passed them on to my mother-in-law to enjoy. I want them to last forever!
 Hobby Lobby has some gorgeous flowers that look so real! They're also kinda pricey, so I wait. And dream.
I watched an episode of Oprah once where she had a designer who told millions of viewers that you shouldn't use fake plants to decorate with. So phtttttttt ( that was a raspberry, in case you didn't catch it) to that. Real plants and flowers have a very short shelf life in my home. Five kids are worse than cats for that kind of thing.
