Paper or Plastic

Not sure what these flowers are called but every time I see them my eyes think they're fake. Like some little kid constructed them out of paper or plastic and put them into the ground. But they're actually real, who knew?
Do people often plant fake flowers in your part of the world? lol
These are Cyclamen...very dainty. Great shot Chris!

@shutterbugger -- I was thinking the same thing! He lives in a climate where things can grow beautifully. Where I live, there are a lot of French Canadians. Many of them plant fake flowers in pots and window boxes. Sometimes even in the ground. It cracks me up! Although, I have to say, they don't have to water or deadhead them. And they last a long time. If they don't let them get faded or out of season, it is a nice splash of color that may not be there otherwise! But I prefer the real thing. Even if they don't last too long with our short growing season.
Nice shot Chris!

@mainebrighteyes - haha thanks Laura!! I don't quite understand it either but guess some people just don't like watering and effort that goes into taking care of them. But they fade so easily in California weather!

@shutterbugger - crazy Jenn! haha
