double take





















Being a succulent lover, I was shocked when I found this fake plant in a Pier 1 import store. Yes, I said fake. Who is it that spends their time getting paid to invent perfect looking fake foliage? Well, I just had to buy it and now it graces my house. I think pretend plants are going to make a come back in home decor, dispelling their gauche reputation. Kudos to this inventor...you had me fooled. How about you?

Love Pier 1 Inports and love your new succulent!!! Wow, it looks so real, I think I would forget and water it!!!

I have a few "fake" flowers in my home and love them.

You are my special flower today, and I'm loving on you big time!

I love the new plant. Yeah, I wonder who does get paid for making the first of the fakes in plants. Hmmmm. Good question.

A) It's adorable.
B) No one would know it's fake if you didn't tell them.
C) Since most living plants die in my house, fake is the most humane way to go.
D) You rock.
