Hi all,

During one of my walking trips, I have seen a plant having pearl like fruits on it. It has a hard shell and a hollow point on top of it. In Google I could not make an exact match. The ones I have discovered are having soft shells.
What is your opinion about this plant? What could it be?

This plant looks kind of artificial... are you certain this is a real plant?

I can see a seam in photo #5.

Excellent pics of the green railings.
It would really help if you could take clear pics to show the plant.
Does it have leaves?
Looks like beads stuck on a stick.

So you can.

Yes, there seems to be a seam - this must be artificial.

No question. Pix 4, 5 & 6 are entirely obvious. I can never tell if the people who post pictures of plastic plants truly think they're real or are simply trying to spoof us.

Those look like popits -anyone remember those?

Hi all,

First of all, thank you for all your comments. I could not enter the building since it was a private one. That's why I had to take the shots behind the railings. Sorry for this.
After reading all the comments, my thoughts about that the plant could be artificial is: Could be possible, but I see that the fruits (or whatever they are) are so arbitrary distributed. On an artificial product, I believe that all the fruits would be positioned mostly in front of our eyes. I see also some almost touching the ground. (See the last pic I have uploaded). In addition to that, I see different sizes and color variations of these fruits. Would an artificial product embody such color and size variations?
About the seam; looks to me more like a thick spider web.
I will try to visit that street this week again and try to find someone to ask about it. If this is something artificial, I will inform you as well. If this is not artificial,
I am curious what it is :)
Thank you all for your considerations.

Some artificial plants do look very real.

I have no idea what it could be, but isn't there a snowberry bush that resembles this?

Next time put the phone lens/camera lens between the railings to try and get clear pics of the mystery plant/object.
Keep us posted.

Artificial.
Look at the broken 'fruit' and it is pretty clear...

Yes, that one looks like a light bulb!

In pic 9, there is twine or rope holding the manufactured stems with the white "berries." In a couple of the pics, you can see cracked and broken berries. Most of the leaves look real, that are in focus.

@Porkpal I don't remember. What are popits?

I don't think the leaves in the picture go with the berries. If you look at the base of the plant, it looks like there is a grey-colored pipe cleaner wrapped around to hold the berry stem to the plant with leaves.

@purpleinopp popits were plastic beads that could be popped together to form necklaces etc (in the '60s ?)

Thank you! I think that was just before my childhood.

Like this?

No - snowberries don't have seams and holes (I have seen snowberries before).

Oh, I know they don't have seams and holes. I was just suggesting the possibility that the artificial plant may resemble a snowberry.

Oh, I thought that you were thinking it was an actual snowberry. Sorry about that.
