I am the worst person in the world to leave a plant with. I don’t have any sort of green thumb….at all! I kill plants! They come to my home to die and that is really putting it nicely. That being said I love plants and flowers as well as using them to decorate with. A beautiful vase of flowers on the dining room table can set the whole mood for the room. For a plant killer like me that leaves me with only one option….silk flowers.
Silk flowers allow me to decorate in any way that I want to without actually harming any plants. Silk Plants Direct sent me this amazing Lavender plant and even though it is my first time ever actually having Lavender I really like it. The color is amazing and there is just something soothing about it. The metal bucket is included which really added to the country chic look. As you can see from the picture at the very top I put it on a table between two candles and it looks amazing.
That table is behind the couch but also my desk is directly across from it so whenever I turn around I get that soothing scene. It really has made the area better. After seeing the quality of the Lavender I am certain that I will be using Silk Plants Direct to get something for my dining room and bathroom. I was thinking of doing something larger like some Fire Retardant Artificial Trees around the fireplace. I think it would brighter up the area nicely.

I live in a small Georgia town that you most likely have never heard of and I LOVE it! My house is more than full as I am a single mother of four & caregiver to my aging mother and uncle. Lover of all things Outlander. Goes to the beat of her own drum woman.
Lisa Brown says
Wow, that looks real. I kill any house plants, no green thumb here. I like your choice in plant selection: lavender has nice color.
Denise Taylor-Dennis says
This plan look pretty real which is nice. I’ve never tried having plants so I have no idea if they would survive.
Julie Wood says
I do not have a green thumb either! I am not good with house plants. But I love silk flowers and use them to give my home a nice look! I want to get some new silk flowers for Fall!
Rosie says
I need to check out this site! I love silk flowers, and have some nice arrangements I like to change them up every now and then. It is esp good for ppl who don’t have enough light or access to the outside that having real growing flowers isn’t practical.
Angelica says
Those silk flowers look incredibly real! My beef with fake flowers is that they always look fake, although fake flowers look better than dead ones. 🙂 I think I might have to get some of these!
James Robert says
I’m with you…even my outdoor flowers didn’t do real well this year. Lavender silk flowers that look real sounds like a great option and does look super
Kelly says
I don’t have a green thumb either, but I love the look of plants. I am so intrigued by “silk” plants. I bet they look realistic.
Birdiebee says
I have decorated with silk flowers in the past. It sure makes decorating so much easier.
Dandi D says
These are lovely and they really don’t look very fake!
Katy says
Fellow plant killer here! I can’t believe that is a silk! I never considered silks because I thought they all looked like fake flowers. This has me really interested because I love the look of plants! I’m going to see what they have!
Scott Poston says
We don’t have any plants either because our cat eats them & so many house plants are toxic. When I was first out on my own, we had a fake silk palm tree that we decorated every holiday with lights- loved it! I should do that again!
Rust says
Love the lavendar you chose! They have a nice selection!
Michelle S says
My joke is always that I have a brown thumb because I kill real plants. I like having the look of plants and use some “fake” plants in the house. I love the look of this lilac.
Priscilla S. says
I enjoy decorating with faux flowers/plants. You can’t beat maintenance-free! They are plenty of truly realistic looking options out there so there is something for everyone.
Elisabeth says
I think this might need to be the route we take, as all of our plants are dying. 😉
Jennifer Jo Archdeacon says
These look so pretty and do look real.
Shannon says
I thought that these were real! How pretty and thank you for your review.
Melissa S says
I like live plants, but there a re several areas in my home where there is not enough light to keep one. I am going to have to try out a few silk plants in those areas.
Hannah C says
They are beautiful. They look real and are a nice decoration.
