Recommendation for best "fake" orchid?

I need a fairly large bowl of artificial orchids but they will be in quite close view so need them to be as convincing as possible.
Do you have any recommendations or ones to avoid please? I realise they're likely to be expensive!

I like the flowers from Home Sense.

I’m sure there are cheaper options but the Oka ones look good.

Another vote for Oka. Or a local garden centre. The ones around the £100 mark look a lot different to the £30 ones.

Think mine possibly came from TK Maxx as they have HS on the label but they look nice.

Great thank you.

Designer trick: get nice fake orchids in individual pots and place them in a large bowl together, and then get flourist's moss and cover up the plastic pots and bases of the plastic orchids. The real moss makes the whole arrangement surprisingly real looking.

We purchased a large bowl with faux orchids from Leekes five years ago. They were £120 then but are amazingly realistic...far more so than the ones I've seen in Homesense.

DH bought me another, smaller arrangement from an ebay seller in 2020. I can't recall the brand but they cost around £70 which was half the RRP. These have faded badly (in a south-facing window so to be expected) unlike the others which are in a similar location.

The second lot are fabric which looked fairly realistic till the fading occurred, whilst the more realistic ones are plastic but don't look it at all imho.

I'm looking to get another and will be buying it from OKA.
