Two Purple Faux Flowers on a Single Stem with Stand - Green

This faux flower stand carries two soft purple blooms on a single green stem, with a large open flower at the top and a smaller one branching off just beneath it. Each bloom has layers of gently crinkled petals, faintly veined like the real thing, around a bright yellow centre that lifts the pale purple. Green leaves with finely toothed edges grow where the stem divides, and the whole piece rises from a neat round base, so it stands upright on its own. It is 44cm tall, 20cm across and 12cm deep, tall enough to catch the eye on a shelf or sill without crowding it.

Because it stands on its own base, it needs no vase: set it on a windowsill, a mantelpiece, a bedside table or the corner of a desk, where the slender stem and small base take up very little room. As a faux plant it needs no watering, so it suits the spots where real flowers struggle, such as a dim hallway, a landing or a busy kitchen shelf. We think it makes a thoughtful Mother's Day gift that lasts well beyond the day itself, and a cheerful present for a friend who loves flowers but has little time to tend them.

The stem is wrapped in green to match the leaves, and the round base is topped in the same green, so the colour runs neatly from the foot of the piece to the flowers. The two blooms turn slightly different ways, which gives it a natural look from every side rather than one flat front. To keep it looking its best, dust the petals now and then with a soft dry brush or cloth, and keep it out of damp spots and direct sun. For a gift, wrap it loosely in tissue with a handwritten card: a bunch of flowers that needs no vase at all.
