W hen I profess my affection for fake flowers, I often feel as though I’m confessing a character flaw. They have, to say the least, a bad reputation. As decoration, they are considered tacky； as gifts, tactless.1 They are widely regarded as creepy and depressing—the association is with the debauched fakeries you’ll find on the lapels of birthdayparty clowns and the sad sacks of nylon collecting dust in the waiting rooms of our laziest dentists.2
I understand why people prefer fresh flowers—we imagine they’re individuals like us, delicate, one of a kind and all the more precious for the fact that their time on earth is limited. But real flowers aren’t quite as rare as they seem, nor quite as personal as we’d like them to be. Their authenticity3—the essence of their appeal—is often illusory.
I’ve been having this debate for years with my mother, a hard-liner on the question of soil-grown flowers versus simulacra.4 Once, when I praised some handmades at a store, she told me that she found my worldview joyless and bleak. “That’s not how I raised you,” she said, and walked away as though she couldn’t even bear to see me standing next to them. Later, she summarized her position： “Why don’t you just put fake lettuce in your salad? I’m sure your dinner guests will appreciate it.”I have stopped trying to argue with her, and instead I’ve turned to sleazy5 methods of persuasion： I recently sent her a photo of some silk peonies and lured her into praising them before revealing their dark secret.
Regardless of what my mother says, I don’t believe that organic authenticity is really what we prize most in a flower. Take the Rafflesia arnoldii6： It may grow in the wild, just as God intended, but it looks like a scary open wound and smells like a decaying rat. The artificial flower, on the other hand, may not have originated in the field, but it has long found a stately perch.7 Imitations were once prized by nobles, from the palaces of imperial China to Versailles, where Louis XIV’s courtiers are believed to have sought silken blossoms for the tops of their bed canopies.8 From these royal lineages9 to the more democratic-spirited creations of today’s artisans, handmade blossoms remain a proud tradition.
Maybe there’s a good reason so many people buy Eco Flowers10. Maybe people are seeing beyond the supposed authenticity of an orchid, kidnapped from its true home, so that you can impulse-buy it at Ikea, only to watch it “bloom” on your dinner table in the dead of a New England winter.11 The people who ship soilgrown flowers from across the globe are the ones selling a falsehood； what authentic connection to nature could possibly arise from such a convoluted12 arrangement? And how sad that a flower, so alienated from its true home, is supposed to communicate feelings of genuine connection.
