This artificial flower stem carries a cluster of green thistle buds along a single upright branch, each bud modelled with the tight, layered bracts and soft downy tip you would find on the real plant. The green tones shift from a deeper sage at the base to fresher, lighter shades towards the buds, giving the spray the natural variation that stops faux stems from looking flat or repetitive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStanding 76cm tall with a 20cm spread, the milk thistle bud spray has enough presence to fill a tall vase on its own, yet slots happily into mixed displays too. Pair it with grasses, dried seed heads or other green foliage for a meadow feel, or let it stand alongside pale blooms so the sculptural buds read as texture against softer petals. The plastic construction keeps the branch light while holding its shape, and the stem can be bent gently to angle the buds or ease it into an arrangement. It suits kitchen windowsills, hallway consoles, garden rooms and studies where a hint of the outdoors feels right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it is artificial, there is no water to change and no wilting to watch for. Keep the buds looking their best by dusting occasionally with a soft dry cloth or a light brush, working carefully around the bracts. Kept away from direct, strong sunlight, the green will stay steady for years, and there are no petals to drop, so no mess to sweep up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlower\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThistle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGreen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlastic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e76cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it really look like a real thistle?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
