Description
This wild cherry stem is an artificial branch of blossom that keeps its flowers in every season. A slim, knotted stem rises straight and then arches over at the top, carrying a run of open pink blossoms with ruffled, softly crinkled petals and a fine cluster of stamens at each centre, with two leaves where the branch begins to bend. It stands 90cm tall and 10cm across, so it reads as a tall, airy line rather than a full bunch. It is made of 70% polyester, 20% polyethylene and 10% iron, and at 0.05KG it is very light in the hand.
Its height suits a tall vase on a sideboard, a hallway console or the end of a mantelpiece, where the arch can lean out over the rim and the blossom can hang in the air. A single stem on its own gives a quiet, graceful line in a living room or bedroom, while two or three together make a fuller spray of pink. Because it is artificial, it needs no water and holds its blossom long after real cherry has dropped its petals, which makes it a good choice for a guest room, a home office or a high shelf that is hard to reach. Mixed with other faux stems, it adds a soft, trailing note that loosens a fuller arrangement.
The maker asks for a little care. Handle it gently, so the leaves and flowerheads do not break, and before use, trim the stem and fold it into place. Trimming lets you set the height to suit your vase, and folding lets you settle the arch where you want the blossom to fall. For the softest look, stand it a little off centre in a plain stoneware or glass vase and let the curve lean towards a window, so the ruffled petals catch the light.
