Hi There,

We have some beautiful plants growing in our office that have the most amazing flowers. They are star shaped and almost look fake (plastic). They seem to come in a variety of pink colors. I have attached a photo of the flower cluster. Can you help us ?

Just a note for others reading the thread to say that I looked into the source of the photograph, and I think it's royalty-free so it can stay up.
