A: Sola flowers are artificial materials made from bark or pith and crafted by hand. They can be dyed in various colors. Due to their high malleability, a wide variety of Sola flowers have been developed. The floral material circled in the image below is a Sola flower. Because of their plant fiber structure, they can absorb essential oils and release them into the air. Therefore, pure white Sola flowers can be sprayed with your favorite fragrance and used as a diffuser, providing a brief aroma. Q: What are "Preserved flowers" mentioned in the floral materials? A: Preserved flowers are real flowers specially treated to retain their color, elasticity, and texture, maintaining their bloomed state for over two years. They do not require water or sunlight; avoid moisture and prolonged exposure to strong light. Q: What are "Realistic flowers" mentioned in the floral materials? A: Realistic flowers are artificial flowers that recreate the lifelike appearance of fresh blooms, possessing the same beauty as natural flowers. They achieve an artistry and durability that fresh flowers cannot, and are widely used for decoration in public spaces in Japan. Although artificial flowers have various names such as realistic flowers, silk flowers, or fake flowers, they are essentially the same. In recent years, the terminology has become more unified, with high-quality artificial flowers referred to as Artificial Flowers or Realistic Flowers. The manufacturing of realistic flowers primarily uses Polyester for petals and resin for stems and fruits. They can maintain their aesthetic appeal for approximately 2 years under normal conditions.
