Keeping flowers in our house whether in the show case, dinningtable or anywhere gives a pleasent look to our home whether it is artificial or real flowers.It gives a nice atmosphere & a beautiful look to our home itself. I love to keep fresh flowers in vase which is so real and have a stunning look but our cities climatic condition will not suit this as these flowers will dry within 2 or 3 days.Maximum it can stay fresh only 2 days.So i have kept artificial flowers everywhere in my home which is easy to wash and they too look great.Nowdays we can get artificial flowers which look alike real flowers. Do you have the habit of arranging flowers in your house?Which one do you prefer? artificial or real flowers?

Well I think everyone would like to keep fresh flowers in a vase in their houses.The fresh flowers helps to elevate one's moods.They are very much refreshing.But I ahve to keep artificial flowers in the vase because the fresh flowers are not easily available in our area and they are also very costly. Neither do we have a garden from where we can get supplies of fresh flowers. As you have mentioned the artificial flowers which are available in the markets look exactly like the real flowers but the only thing which they lack is the fragrance of the real flowers.

I do agree that real flowers have their own life and would dry after sometime but still i prefer decorating with fresh flowers rather than artificial ones. I practice rotation of plants for providing proper nourishment to plants and at the same time having fresh flower arrangement.

Yeah keeping flowers in our house really give a pleasant look and refreshing atmosphere to our home. Normally I keep fresh flowers on the altar. Occasionally I do keep fresh flowers on table in sitting room during festivals. I usually keep artificial flowers on tops of TV and frig.

Real flowers are prettty and realistic (that's why they're real!!:) and they just add that certain touch to your room. But they die too easily and the water and stuff... Artificial are better because they are pretty and also realistic. They are pretty much the same, but you have to take care of real ones. I say artificial. :)

Hi subathra. In our house we keep nothing but real flowers and house plants. We love to feed them and watch how big they grow, then once they've grown big, break them down and grow more, all for the house...

I have both artificial flowers and the fresh ones. We grow our own roses, and we especially love the aromatic ones. We have 2 gorgeous-producing pink rose bushes and a yellow one in our front yard. However, the 2 coral rose bushes in the backyard are the best deal since we only paid 99 cents a piece for them and they grow like weeds. We have a red Lincoln rose that smells like perfume at the side of our house, but we have trouble growing it. I suppose we love our fresh roses the best.
