Lovely, Real Looking Tulips
I’m really pleased with these tulips! They are so pretty and the red color is so vibrant. Hard to tell what the material is, a kind of rubbery plastic, almost like silicone. The material has some plasticity so you can move the petals and bend the stems. They look good!
The only negative thing is the smell. We’ll have to move them to the porch for a week so they can off-gas. You can really smell the rank chemical smell when you put your nose to them and from far away, a faint chemical smell. Once they off-gas we can enjoy them!
Update 4-9-19:
The two bouquets took one week on the windier side of my porch to off-gas. I tied them together and placed them as open as I could to face breezes, stems held down from the wind of course.
I would buy more for gifts or around the house! They are so pretty.
Just air them out well before you give them to someone or use for a wedding. And please be careful! They made my chest hurt after I smelled them up close.
Update 2/19/20:
The red tulips are beautiful after a year!
The white tulip has yellowed (over the course of the year) so much I forgot I ordered white
:( . However, it looks good yellowed! Who knew?
I suspect that the more pigmented the color is, the better.
