For the flower puritans, not many give silk flowers a second thought. But truth be told, silk flowers can serve the aesthetic value served by real flowers just as well if not better. Compared to real flowers, silk flowers have a multitude of benefits. One of the places that you can comfortably place silk flowers is the window sill. But there are factors that you need to keep in mind because on the window sill the flowers might be exposed to vagaries of the weather. And this is where the benefits come in comparison to real flowers.

To start with, exposing the flower to the weather on the window sill does not bring about withering and eventual dying out as with a real flower. With time, the flower might fade or lose color but this is after sometime, by then the real flower would already die out and be replaced many times over. This saves on money spent on real flowers which are normally quite expensive. What most people will likely not tell you, is that silk flowers can last a very long time - at least a few years. This is very important to keep in mind if you're thinking of buying some silk flowers or silk plants.

The other benefit is that a silk flower on your window sill takes little of your time in terms of looking after it every now and then. The silk flowers need no watering, pruning and constant moving to shield from vagaries of the weather. You also need not worry about falling leaves making the place untidy.

Whenever flowers are mentioned to most of us, the first thing that comes to mind is the comforting scent that is derived from their lovely colored and beautiful petals. They are used to convey powerful messages and other than their unrivaled aesthetic value. The thought of silk flowers in your garden sounds brilliant bearing in mind the color and cost effective maintenance measures associated with them. They have their negative side though, which involves them first and foremost not being in a position to smell like the real flowers. Given that they are synthetic, the only smell you will have from them is that of something not even close to a concoction of water and honey.

Silk flowers are also easy to move around without damaging them. Unlike the real flowers, you do not have to worry about falling and breaking in which case you would need to replace with a new one. Likewise, while moving houses, you can comfortably move with your flower and give it a new home in a new window sill without having caused any damage to it.
However, in buying silk flowers for your window sill, you have to keep some factors in mind. You need to consider whether you are buying for aesthetic value or for any other reason. Carefully choose the colors so as to blend with the immediate surroundings. The good thing is that they come in a variety of colors so matching them with your room or window curtains should not be too hard.
