The fake sunflower arrangement as seen above is actually made from man-made materials and but marvellously echoes the majesty and feel that real sunflowers possess. The sunflowers also come with a glass bowl together with faux-water to complete the look. It’s quite literally a set-it-up-and-leave-it flower arrangement apart from the odd dust and clean every now and then.

It’s always a delight to have colourful flowers inside the home. They can brighten up and enhance any décor arrangement and generally raise the mood of the scenery. However, real flowers, unless you have a big flower-filled garden can be expensive to keep buying and don’t generally last very long. That’s why faux-flowers and in particular bright and cheerful sunflowers are perfect for placement on table tops, shelves, cabinets and wherever else you need an injection of color.

There might not be ten thousand of them each “tossing their heads in sprightly dance” as English poet William Wordsworth once wrote, but there are enough to create a delightful eye-catching feature to just about any room in the home. The three wooden sunflower heads have been made from rigid wood which mimics the natural look of flowers. Flowing grains are just such a feature. Curling grasses enhance the arrangement which is held together within a small vase made from solid walnut.

As one might expect, this wooden sunflower table sculpture never needs watering or clipping. It can be left on a prominent surface in any interior where it will provide a beautiful and cheerful accent feature. Of course, it will need a little dusting every now and then.

Wordsworth goes on to say in his famous poem: “For oft, when on my couch I lie, In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye…”. This is certainly the case with this delicate sunflower arrangement made from wood although the visual of the stunning flower sculptures will be imprinted on the outward eye as well. With a little sweet music one can even dance with or around the daffodils.

The people of Somerset where the garden centre is located have been impressed with the new urinals and both men and women alike have been to have a peek at the original flower urinal creations.

“When we opened in June this year we had a queue of ladies waiting outside the gents to see if they could steal a peek at the toilets.” said Simon Malley of Dobbies Garden World.

The three flower-shaped urinals are in the shape of three distinct flowers which include a hollyhock, an orchid and a daffodil. As one can see from the picture, their bright, vibrant and colorful nature are certainly different from the usual white urinals. One can also imagine any stains will be hidden in the tones of the flower petals. As for sprinkling tinklers, the bowl shaped urinals should provide an ample amount of aiming space.

“Our gentlemen customers in particular pass on their feedback to our staff on a daily basis and the gents’ loos have certainly created a real talking point in this area.” Malley continued.

Unfortunately, the women’s toilets have not been so blessed and have instead had to make do with three small poppy-shaped hand basins. Whilst these urinals are in the public sphere, it’s not a big leap to imagine them as unusual and fun bathroom fixtures for all the male family members to use in a domestic setting.

You can see more of these flower-shaped urinals on Clark Sorensen’s website which can be browsed here: clarkmade.com
