Anyone know where to get REALLY good fake flowers?

I got really nice fake red roses from Pottery Barn last year but they don't seem to be carrying them anymore. I need some more fake flowers for a silver vase but I can't seem to find any.

Anyone have any suggestions?

I'm really picky about them b/c I hate the ones that look plastic or that look obviously silk. Michael's is out of the question b/c although I like some of their other flowes, the roses don't look quite right.

LOL I was going to suggest Pottery Barn! They're pricey, but their flowers are so much fuller, and look very real. Michaels can be hit or miss with their silk flowers.

Have you tried PB's website?

Thanks for the response Teri.

I just love Pottery Barn's flowers!!!! I am always on their website but never see any loose flowers on there. I just picked up some great green flowers (have no idea what they are called) and they were so nice but they are not carrying any roses lately.

I saw a lot at Patchogue Floral Fantasyland (on 101 - exit 55 off Sunrise?) - I wasn't looking closely, but as I passed down the aisle quickly they looked nicer than usual.

Not quite as good as pottery barns but Pier One also sells fake flowers that are better than the plastic variety.
