Artificial Flowers

I have previously uploaded photos of this interesting and very common plant in our winter, which is the "Cipó de São João".
We had a meeting again last June, when I took these photos of the buds in full sun, and other with flowers already half open in a darker place.
The texture is very interesting and in my opinion it sometimes looks like an artificial flower, but it is very beautiful.
Here I leave the two photos for appreciation of my Flickr friends, in addition to the information below.
The "Cipó de São João" / Flame Vine, (Pyrostegia venusta) is a woody creeper found in subtropical and temperate climate of Brazil, found at the side of the roads, ravines and fences. It is common in almost every state of the country, and can reach up to 12 meters high.
It produces many inflorescences, composed of elongated flowers in a vibrant shade of orange, but there's another type with yellow flowers. Flowering starts in mid-Autumn, goes through the Winter in full bloom and ending in early Spring. That's why it is an interesting plant when we want to have showy flowers in the cold months. It covers pergolas, fences, trellises, walls and arbors very well.
Its exuberant flowering attracts pollinating agents such as insects and hummingbirds.
It has medicinal properties, but is toxic to cattle. In addition to ornamenting, the flowers are used in folk medicine to treat white spots on the body (leucoderma or vitiligo).
Walked into the wrong store, flowers so delicate and realistic ....i was fooled.
Artificial flowers never looked more real to me.
Artificial flowers to the right, real roses to the left (the shot was taken outside). None of them is yellow. I shifted the colours in post processing the image. Why? I just felt that yellow was in order.

Rain & snow here today. Placed artificial flowers foreground and background. Quincy is a little shaggy. We are shelter in place so he will have to wait on the grooming. I did trim all 3 pups' eyebrows so they can see.

This is one of the artificial flowers from the bouquet I put out on my Bistro table in the Fall.
I shoot everything. On the computer screen I had realized that they were Artificial, plastic, leaves.
With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating and stay safe! ❤️❤️❤️
As I type this, our area is under a hurricane warning and tornado watch. Storm surge is not a worry here and our building is like a fortress of concrete and steel. We will stay away from the windows, just in case, so I won't get many good pics of the storm. If I am not here for a few days it will be because we have lost electricity.
