Okay, so I finally caved and bought these Cherica plastic flowers after seeing them all over my feed. And wow, they did NOT disappoint!

First off, the colors are insane—like, 'is that real?' level vibrant. I got the multicolor pack, and they legit look like I just picked them from some magical garden. My neighbor even asked if I’d started gardening (lol, as if).

The UV-resistant claim? 100% true. Texas sun tried to murder them all summer, but they’re still popping like day one. Meanwhile, my real plants… RIP.

Pro tip: Fluff them like crazy when you unpack! They arrive kinda squished, but once you separate the stems, it’s a whole vibe. I used just 4 bundles to fill a giant planter—instant Insta-worthy porch upgrade.

Zero maintenance + survives apocalypse-level heat = worth every penny. Already planning to buy more for my balcony. 10/10 would fake-garden again.
