People now of days want to buy artificial flowers because you don’t need to take care of them, they look nice, and they last forever. Artificial flowers weren’t popular a couple of years ago because people thought they looked tacky.

There using the technology to make artificial flowers, that could possibly revolutionize our understanding of plant-pollinator interactions.
