Description
This is a bouquet of artificial white tulips, each flowerhead held on its own stem among long, pointed leaves, with the petals still closed around the centre the way a tulip looks soon after it is cut. Gathered together it stands 32cm tall and 17cm across, a generous hand-held bunch rather than a single stem. The bouquet is made from a blend of 40% EVA, 25% PVC, 20% iron and 5% polyethylene, and it weighs just 0.16KG. It comes bound with rope at the base and wrapped, ready to give as a gift.
White tulips sit easily in almost any room, so this is a bouquet for the places where you want flowers without the upkeep: the centre of a dining table, a hallway console, a mantelpiece or a bedside table. Artificial flowers do not wilt, which makes them a good choice for a high shelf, a guest room used only now and then, or an office desk that sits empty over the weekend. The wrap also makes it a simple gift for a housewarming, a birthday or Mother's Day, given just as it arrives. Several bouquets gathered in one large vase make a fuller arrangement for a wedding table or a party.
The white of the flowers is colour-dyed, and the stems carry their leaves along their length, much as a cut tulip does. The maker asks that the stems are trimmed and folded into place before use, which means you can cut them down to suit the height of your vase and bend the heads and leaves until the bunch sits the way you like. Handle it gently, as the leaves and flowerheads can break. For a natural look, loosen the rope, trim the stems to slightly different lengths and let a few heads lean outwards in a clear glass vase or a simple jug.
