Magrowie Pack of 8 Silk Bougainvillea Artificial Flowers Stems Full Floral Branches for Home, Garden, Office Decor Wedding Centerpieces, Table Runner - 31.5 inch (Fuchsia)

The best artificial flowers I've seen. Highly recommend.

Bougainvillea in full color is simply gorgeous, but it's so hot where I live that they rarely survive in pots, at least for me. Whether in pots or in the ground, those colorful bracts hide its vicious thorns, which make pruning an adventure in creative cussing. This year, it's just too hot for pot plants at all. When the first packet of 8 stems of this hot pink bougainvillea arrived for me to review, I liked it so well that I immediately ordered another set on my own account. The package contains 8 long stems that are easily trimmed with wire cutters, and the position of the leaves and bract clusters can be bent and adjusted, as can the whole base stem. I show the original 8 stems indoors in the beige crock. The colors are vibrant, the stems realistic, and the tiny flowers among the bracts in the right places. Everything is there but the thorns. These would also look really pretty loosely arranged in a tall vase. I wanted to fill a large pot I have outdoors with this bougainvillea, so I combined two packages for a total of 16 stems--these are shown in the outdoor pictures in the blue pot. As you can see, this punch of color is a bright spot in the landscape, even at a distance. Only time will tell what effect the fierce Texas sun will have on the color, but we've had some gusty winds and not a single bract has fallen. They are not cheap, but their realism and versatility make them worth it, I think. I'm very happy with these! I received them from the Amazon Vine program.

These look similar in quality as dollar store flowers. They have cheap plastic centers, that are not molded cleanly. Bits are stuck together. The petals are a little bit frayed. These are priced way too high for the quality you receive.
