Description
The Semporna is an artificial peony on a single long stem. It carries one large open bloom, a half-open bloom and a tight bud, so one stem shows three stages of the flower at once. The petals are a soft beige cream, ruffled and gently creased the way a real peony's are, with a slightly deeper tone at the heart of the open flower. Dark olive leaves branch from a green stem. It is made from plastic and stands 83cm tall and 20cm across, tall enough to rise well clear of the neck of a jug or a large vase.
It is a decor piece, so it belongs indoors: on a hall console, a dining table, a mantelpiece or a bedroom chest of drawers. The neutral cream sits comfortably beside white, grey, sage and natural wood, so it suits a calm, pared-back room as easily as a busier one. It is a good choice for anyone who loves peonies but not their short season. It also suits rooms where fresh flowers would struggle, and busy homes where a vase of water tends to be forgotten. Gather several stems for a full arrangement, or let one stand alone in a narrow bottle vase.
The stem weighs just 0.11KG, light enough to sit in a slim glass vase without weighing it down. Because it is artificial, it never needs water, sunlight or feeding, and the blooms stay open rather than dropping petals across the table. The dark leaves give the cream petals some contrast, so the flowers read clearly even from across a room. Our practical tip: set the stem a little off centre in a wide vase and turn the open bloom towards where you sit, so the fullest face of the flower is the one you see most.
