PhotoHunt - Artificial

Artificial plants and flowers make lovely centerpieces. I like the idea of decorating my home with a couple of artificial blooms as they look like natural flowers and last longer too. They can fill up the emptiness in any living space and add colours to my home. The only thing is they get dirty and what I need to do is dusting between a short period of time. Otherwise, the dust just sticks on the flowers making the flowers look artificial.



The last time I visited the Hongkong Disneyland was a few years ago and while there, I managed to watch one of my favorite Disney 's animated classic, "Festival of the Lion King." It was fun to watch Simba, the Lion King and his friends facing grueling challenges throughout the artificial jungle. Interestingly enough, this simplified version of the Lion King’s story was splendid but most of alll, it was the lifelike artificial animated characters that made The Lion King Celebration spectacular. I still missed that darn parade.

  6. I can understand the cleaning up of dirt on flowers.. It's a tedious job if you have too many pots around the house. :P

  10. Nice takes on the theme!
    Some of the artificial flowers are beautifully made that they look real until you get really close. Yours are like that.

    And I love the Lion King artificial jungle take on the theme, cool sots!

  13. Artificial plants are good for people like me who are lazy or have no time to water or take care of living plants. :P

  14. They collect dust too. For myself, I would buy new artificial plants every year for CNY.

  15. I wonder how much your flower arrangement cost? It will be costly in Singapore.

  26. You like to decorate your house with artificial flowers? I prefer the live ones...but as you said these fake ones can last longer. And besides that these artificial ones can fill up the empty place right? :)

    ReplyDelete
  27. Yeah! Sometimes these fake flowers are dust magnets right? It can really attract dust huh. That's why have to clean it up now and then. :D

    ReplyDelete

  34. But having artificial flowers or decor requires constant cleaning and dusting off as they tend to collect dust in homes.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Somehow I still prefer real flowers than artificials ones... Though artificial ones last longer, but real ones bring in more vibrants (or there is another word, I don't know what it is >.<).

    ReplyDelete
  36. I have artificial flowers in my home. They last for a very very long time. Unlike real flowers!
