flor artificial
artificial flower
The term 'flor artificial' in Spanish translates to 'artificial flower' in English. This term consists of two parts; 'flor' refers to 'flower', and 'artificial' directly translates to 'artificial'. It is generally used to refer to a flower that has been artificially made, often from materials such as plastic or silk, rather than a naturally grown one. These types of decorations are popular as they require no maintenance, can be any color, and are not subject to wilting like regular flowers.
