An artificial flower having a plastic center, or pistil, and plastic pedals spaced outwardly from, and arranged evenly around, the periphery of the pistil. The petals are connected to the pistil by means of flexible "stems" of dead-soft character. These stems are of U-shaped configuration and comprise the outer portions of the legs of a spider-like member, the central part of which is embedded in the flower pistil. Each of the legs extends laterally from a common center a fixed distance, then is bent to extend perpendicularly through the bottom of the pistil and formed into the shape of a U, the outer terminus of which is embedded in the inner end of one of the flower petals. As a result, each of the flower petals has a U-shaped stem which permits it to be tilted through a relatively wide arc.
