MY FAKE PLANTS…



"My fake plants died because I did not pretend to water them."
~Author Unknown~

(Not so long ago a friend of mine told me that when her parents visited, her Dad watered all her silk plants.  My friend did not have much success with real ones, but she had some very realistic and pretty 'fake' flowers which I always admired.  Apparently so did her Dad.)

    1. I think they were okay, at least they looked okay the last time I saw them :)

    1. Thank you Eileen, I should have said the picture came from Pixabay. I thought I had ID'd it but forgot. Must remember to do that soon.

    1. Bless his cotton socks, he wasn't there but for a couple of days or so, but he thought they looked a bit 'dry', LOL! Got up early as he usually does, and thought he would help his daughter out. A great dad indeed :)
