With Valentine's Day and Mother's Day not far away we thought you'd enjoy learning how to crochet some realistic looking flowers.  

There's also a growing trend for hospitals to ask visitors not to bring in bouquets of flowers due to the additional time they need to spend changing water etc...

These crochet flowers would not need any further looking after, problem solved!
