If you've ever been into a model home you will notice how often they use silk and artificial plants; and just how realistic they look in the proper setting. Why bother with watering and tending to the real thing, when these silk plants look equally as well. Especially when light and sun are a factor in where you need to place your plants. Orchids have a really exotic and rich look to them. Place this in a bathroom area for some extra color and life.
