A: Sola flowers are handcrafted from bark or pith and can be dyed in various colors. Due to their malleability, many diverse forms have been developed. The flower material circled in the image below is a Sola flower. Because of its plant fiber nature, it can absorb essential oils and release them into the air. Thus, pure white Sola flowers can have your favorite fragrance sprayed onto them and be used as diffusers, providing a temporary aroma! Q: What are "Preserved Flowers" mentioned in the flower materials? A: Preserved flowers are real flowers specially treated to maintain their color, elasticity, and texture, lasting in full bloom for over two years. They do not require water or sunlight; avoid moisture and prolonged strong light exposure. Q: What are "Lifelike Flowers" mentioned in the flower materials? A: Lifelike flowers are artificial flowers that recreate the realism of fresh flowers, possessing the same beauty as their natural counterparts. They achieve an artistic quality and durability unattainable by fresh flowers and are widely used for decoration in public spaces in Japan. Although artificial flowers have various names such as silk flowers or fake flowers, they are essentially the same. In recent years, the terminology has become more unified, with high-quality artificial flowers being referred to as Artificial Flowers or Lifelike Flowers. The manufacturing of lifelike flowers primarily uses Polyester for petals and resin for stems and fruits. They can maintain their aesthetic appeal for approximately 2 years under normal environmental conditions.
