Description
This is a single artificial phlox stem in cream, made to stand in a vase and bring a soft touch of cream to a shelf or table. The slim stem branches partway down into two round, fluffy flower heads, a larger one at the very top and a smaller one set lower, so it reads as a small spray in its own right rather than a lone bloom. It measures 7cm across and 49cm tall, a height that suits a medium vase or a tall, narrow bottle, and it is made from 90% polyethylene and 10% iron. It is very light, at 0.01KG.
Because it is artificial, it suits the places where fresh flowers would be hard to keep going: a bookshelf, the corner of a desk, a hallway console, a bedroom windowsill or a mantelpiece. One stem alone in a small bud vase makes a quiet, simple display, while several together give a looser, fuller look. The cream heads sit happily beside pale ceramics, linen and wood, and they lighten a bunch of faux greenery when tucked among the leaves. It is a good choice for anyone who likes flowers in the home all year round but would rather not replace them every week.
Before use, the maker asks that the stem be trimmed and folded into place, so take a moment to cut it to the length your vase needs and set the two heads where you want them. Handle it gently while you do, since the flower heads can break if they are pulled or crushed. To finish, trim the stem so the top head sits about a hand's width over the rim, then angle the smaller head slightly outward for a looser, more natural line; a pale vase makes the cream look softer still.
