The bloom features layered petals in a muted cream and mauve palette, finished with a lightly flocked surface that gives it a velvety, matte quality. It feels dimensional, textural, and quietly dramatic without taking over the entire room, which we appreciate in both florals and dinner guests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"811\" data-start=\"530\"\u003eThe natural-looking stem adds contrast and grounding, while the oversized bloom brings structure and artistry to an arrangement. It works beautifully on its own in a simple vessel, but it truly shines when layered into larger floral designs where shape, depth, and contrast matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1017\" data-start=\"813\"\u003eThis is a traditional faux floral stem, not Real Touch and not True Bloom, but its flocked finish and sculptural bloom shape give it a refined, collected feel that works beautifully in elevated interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"1038\" data-start=\"1019\" data-section-id=\"qmlc7q\"\u003eDesign Function\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1172\" data-start=\"1040\"\u003eDesigned to add sculptural structure, soft color contrast, and textural movement to neutral, tonal, and layered floral arrangements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"1197\" data-start=\"1174\" data-section-id=\"qb6z8y\"\u003eDetails at a Glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1996\" data-start=\"1199\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1210\" data-start=\"1199\"\u003eFlower:\u003c\/strong\u003e King Protea\u003cbr data-end=\"1225\" data-start=\"1222\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1235\" data-start=\"1225\"\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Creamy heirloom mauve with subtle tonal variation\u003cbr data-end=\"1288\" data-start=\"1285\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1299\" data-start=\"1288\"\u003eSeason:\u003c\/strong\u003e Year-round, with especially beautiful spring, summer, fall\u003cbr data-end=\"1397\" data-start=\"1394\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1408\" data-start=\"1397\"\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26 inches\u003cbr data-end=\"1429\" data-start=\"1426\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1442\" data-start=\"1429\"\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Refined Silk faux floral bloom with flocked finish and faux stem\u003cbr data-end=\"1510\" data-start=\"1507\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1527\" data-start=\"1510\"\u003eQuality Tier:\u003c\/strong\u003e Faux Floral\u003cbr data-end=\"1542\" data-start=\"1539\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1554\" data-start=\"1542\"\u003eSold As:\u003c\/strong\u003e Individual stem\u003cbr data-end=\"1573\" data-start=\"1570\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1587\" data-start=\"1573\"\u003eStem Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wired faux stem with light shaping flexibility\u003cbr data-end=\"1637\" data-start=\"1634\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1656\" data-start=\"1637\"\u003eBest Vase Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium to tall ceramic, stoneware, or matte-finish vessels between 8–14 inches tall\u003cbr data-end=\"1743\" data-start=\"1740\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1759\" data-start=\"1743\"\u003eTo Consider:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stem is bendable enough for light styling and vase adjustment, but not intended for heavy reshaping\u003cbr data-end=\"1862\" data-start=\"1859\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1871\" data-start=\"1862\"\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Indoor use only.
