This peony is amazing how it shines. It is the blackest of black & oh so lovely! The material is a thick silk polyester type blend & the peony measures from 3.5-4.5 inches in diameter depending on how you arrange it. This peony is one of a kind & won’t last long! Find us on Instagram & Facebook @simplyserrafloral The term “silk flowers”, or similar, is a phrase used universally to describe artificial flowers. We use this term, & similar, as a search term to be found within Etsy by those looking for artificial flowers. However, most artificial flowers are NOT made from Silk, rather a blend of other materials, typically a polyester/cotton blend. Please keep this in mind while shopping our floral. While we use the universal term, our flowers are not made from pure silk. This does not apply to our Succulent listings as they are typically made from a plastic/rubber blend, unless otherwise noted.
