I am in LOVE with the laytex flowers on the Sundance site. 

 

I've wanted to do an arrangement for our dining room for fall-winter and they look SO real.

I've looked laytex flowers up on line and amazon only had roses, nothing that I would be drawn to at all.

Oh, they would be so pretty, @ECBG -- aren't they the ones that have that "real-touch" feeling?  You'd swear by touch that the petals were real?

 

With spring ahead, I'm surprised there aren't any tulips around.  They would lend themselves so well to that real-touch feeling.  Bright tulips in spring, ah!

 

But maybe you have a specific flower in mind, that you can't find?  Colors?

The Real Touch tulips bought in a multiple set areen't that expensive.  I saw those on amazon I believe.

Sorry to get in on your conversation but I have never had Latex Faux Flowers. 

I have been looking for something very realistic for my kitchen Island and everything I see looks way too fake. I will have to investigate Latex ...thanks for the tip!

Me too, @DREAMON --  since @ECBG mentioned it, I've gone back and checked the Sundance site that she referenced, and whoa, the flowers are gorgeous!

My order from Sundance came (with another 10% off) but the few faux flowers weren't included!  I can't wait to see them and find out where they came from.  There should be a brand sticker on the stems!  Can't wait to see!!!Smiley Happy

Oh, great, @ECBG ,  I can well imagine how exciting it will be when they come!  Your arrangements with these beauties will be something to see, once they arrive!

You're too sweet!  I am just on the edge of the planning stage.  I have yet to order all of the stems I want (hopefully the first stems will have a coupon as well!),  too many stems but the price is out of sight!  Their SH is the absolute worst!  One would lose a lot of money by not doing one order!  The SH is almost equal to the price of some of the flowers!!!

 

I also need to come up with a container.  I LOVE the crystal rectangles.  Still, a tall cut glass pitcher would be pretty!Smiley Happy  I'd like it taller and thinner.

Also looking at the containers at Fresh Market.  They can be pretty.

VERY big box delivered today.  I first thought "rug?" then read the Sundance return address.  

Holy cow!!!  Flowers!  

 

They're rather long, which allows room to cut the stems for an arrangement.  I started out with the pink buds because I thought they would sell out first.

I did get yet another 10% off coupon, but that SH will strangle you!  In this case I about came out even.

The buds have almost a light "suede" like texture.

@ECBG 

Antime someone pages @Oznell , you know it has to be good!

 

Very pretty flowers, and like all of you, I agree it's important they feel "right," too.

 

I envy you your wonderful porch so close to that woodsy area.
