Default Naff or chic?

The Mrs spotted some unusual house plants in the garden
centre the other day. Small bushy green plants a bit like
box, but with small yellow flowers at the tips. Another,
similar variety had orange flowers. On closer inspection
all these flowers had been stuck on with glue!!!

The plants were real enough, just the flowers were plastic.
Surely there is a wide enough range of attractive house
plants without buying such monstrosities? Or am I being old
fashioned?

Each plant was covered in flowers - to think that someone
must have sat for ages gluing them all on.

I bought a cacti that I thought was in flower, it wasn't, it too was
stuck on duh, I paid for my ignorance!
