{"product_id":"thistle-globe-stem","title":"Thistle Globe Stem","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis thistle globe stem brings a sculptural touch to any room without the fuss of fresh flowers. The rounded green globe heads are the highlight, each one covered in fine spiky filaments that catch the light and mimic the soft prickle of a real thistle. Look closely and you will see the subtle gradient across the blooms, deeper at the base and lighter towards the tips, which gives this artificial flower stem a convincing, garden-picked quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStanding 81cm tall with a width and depth of 18cm, the stem has a good presence in a tall vase or floor pot. The globes are moulded from plastic and finished with slim green foliage running along the wired stalk, so the whole piece feels balanced rather than top heavy. The stem is bendable, which lets you angle the heads and adjust the height to suit your container. It works beautifully on its own in a slim vessel or mixed with other faux stems for a fuller display. Try pairing it with dried grasses, eucalyptus or a few softer blooms to play the spiky globes against gentler shapes and textures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe thistle globe stem suits hallways, mantels, kitchen windowsills and console tables, adding a touch of the outdoors indoors all year round. Care could not be simpler. There is no water to change and no wilting to worry about. Dust the globes occasionally with a soft brush or a gentle shake, and reshape the stem whenever you rearrange your vases. With minimal upkeep it will keep its colour and form season after season.\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\u003e81cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18cm\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 look realistic?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
