silk flowers

Perpetual polyester petals

Silk flowers are artificial flowers made from fabric, typically silk or synthetic materials that mimic silk's sheen and drape.

They serve as permanent decorations that require no water or care: The lobby had a vase of silk flowers on every table.

Despite the name, most are now made from polyester rather than actual silk.
