With les and less people having gardens what with so many constraints there is a temptation to go for artificial flowers. Not just articifial flowers there are those who have artificial gardens that almost look real. I am fortunate that I still have interest in gardening and will never trade my garden for anything in the world. What about you. Do you have a liking for artificial flowers Surely you will have much to say in their praise What are those praises. And finally can you tell which rose is real and which is not.

I love my vegetable gardens and flower gardens and only grow real things. However, since our landscaper cut out a new flower garden before we left for Florida, I bought some artificial flowers to bring some color to that area and also to add color to our stone planters in front of my house. It looks pretty cool during our long, cold winters.

Would you still keep those flowers there once you start gardening there?

@allknowing Out they come until next winter. Unless all my flowers die or get eaten by deer

I think the one on the right is artificial, but hard to tell. I have some fake plants in the stone vase along the external wall of the house, to have some colors in winter.

You are right. I think to have some artificial flowers in the winter seems a good idea.

@LadyDuck That is a good idea. I have seen images of plastic flower gardens. They look real.

@allknowing - Winter is long here. It is sad not to have flowers in the garden. The artificial plants add some colours, that is nice.

Nothing artificial or fake here, especially in the garden.

I don't have a garden but I like real flowers. I sometimes bought a bunch of flowers and put them in a vase. Both roses look real. Difficult to tell.

Hello! I understand that with all the restrictions, fewer people are able to have gardens, and it can be tempting to opt for artificial flowers. However, like you, I have a love for gardening and would never trade it for anything. As for artificial flowers, they can certainly have their place in decoration, but nothing beats the real thing. Have a great day!

This is a hard one as both look just about perfect.

It's not that I hate artificial flowers, but I love the real ones more. Artificial flowers are visually appealing too but the feel the real flowers give cannot be matched at all. Both look the same, however, I think 1 is a real flower.

Even I have felt the same way.
