An artificial flower is formed of a plurality of individual petal-like members of fabric each including a medial stiffening wire secured thereto for simulating a vein and having an end portion projecting from the respective petal-like member, an assembling element having a peripheral surface with substantially parallel grooves extending therealong for receiving the projecting end portions of the stiffening wires, and a clamping ring encircling the peripheral surface of the assembling element for securing the projecting end portions of the stiffening wires in the respective grooves. The assembling element has an axial bore opening at one end to receive a central plug of stamen-and pistil-simulating member and at the other end to receive an end portion of an elongated, stalk-like element for mounting the petal-like members and the stamen-and pistil-simulating member on the stem or stalk-like element.
An artificial flower comprising a plurality of individual petal-like members of fabric each including a medial stiffening wire secured thereto for simulating a vein and having an end portion projecting from the respective petal-like member, an assembling element having a peripheral surface with substantially parallel grooves extending therealong and opening axially at least at one end and also radially outward for receiving the projecting end portions of the stiffening wires of said petal-like members, and means extending about said assembling element for securing said projecting end portions of the stiffening wires in the respective grooves.
