plastic flowers

Synthetic floral imitations

Plastic flowers are artificial flowers made from synthetic materials, designed to imitate real blooms without wilting or requiring care.

They decorate spaces where live plants would be impractical: plastic flowers in the cemetery, a vase of plastic flowers on the reception desk.

The phrase often carries connotations of cheapness or inauthenticity—something that mimics life without possessing it.
