In addition, contain the pigment different each other by the stem core at a plurality of artificial plants in advance to the liquid medium dissolubility, should be immersed in simultaneously in the above-mentioned water-containing organic solvent as bouquet by a plurality of artificial plants, can make each artificial plant begin to change, also can make the apperance of each artificial plant different with tone by different color, different times ground.By such formation, can improve bouquet taste on the whole.

In addition, under the above-mentioned situation,,, fragrance is filled the air in surrounding environment by using alcohol armaticity solvents such as (particularly ethanol) as the organic solvent of water-containing organic solvent.

In addition, among the present invention, use the situation of pigment, preferred and with stoping pigment thing and the person are gone up mobile pigment and are moved and prevent agent towards periphery.For example, contain pigment at the stem core and move under the situation that prevents agent, if use and to contain pigment and move the medium that prevents agent, fixedly liquid medium is to the colored state of the flower/leaf of the dissolving of pigment and expansion as liquid medium.That is, in the process that color, apperance change,, can obtain liking the artificial plant of color and apperance by from liquid medium, taking out artificial plant at the expectation changes phase.Under this occasion, because chromatopexis so color does not come off, can prevent pigment pollution hand, clothes, wall etc.Same effect, effect also can contain pigment at the stem core and move the liquid medium that prevents agent, contains pigment and reach by using in advance.Under the latter's the situation, do not move and prevent agent because liquid medium does not contain pigment, so more can keep the free degree of change color.In addition, arbitrarily under the situation,, pigment prevents that agent is encapsulated in the capsule etc., can be mixed in pigment in the liquid medium behind certain hour by being moved.At this moment, can be under the state after petal etc. changes during certain fixed pigment.Further, do not use pigment to move and prevent agent, after color/apperance changes to the desired stage, from liquid medium, take out artificial plant, move by coating pigments such as sprayings and prevent that agent from also can obtain same effect.Move by suitable selection pigment and pigment in addition and prevent agent, the change color that can obtain expecting.

Especially, this pigment moves the mordant that prevents to contain in the agent promising fixedly vegetable colour (vegetable dye).As mordant, can the example frerrous chloride, the iron mordant of iron chloride, ferrous sulfate, chrome mordants such as chromic acetate, copper mordant such as Schweinfurt green, copper sulphate, tin mordants such as sodium stannate, aluminium mordants such as alum schist, aluminum sulfate, lime mordants such as white lime, other vinegar etc.Mordant can use 0.1～1 weight %, and the concentration of preferred 0.2～0.5 weight % can be to be 1～10 weight % with respect to petal, leaf, and the ratio of preferred 2～5 weight % is suitably used.

In order to prevent that color from not coming off, pigment pollution hand, clothes, wall can suitably use tunicle formation property pigment to move on flower or leaf and prevent agent.Form the property pigment as such tunicle and move and prevent agent, can enumerate cationic surfactant; The white of an egg; Soap bases such as linoleic acid soap alkali, leukotrienes soap alkali, CLA soap alkali; Coating such as lacquer, cashew nut (cashew) coating; Natural resins such as rosin, Dammar,   resin, shellac; Tung oil, flaxseed wet goods natural oil; Native paraffins such as babassu, イボ wax, haze tallow, beeswax; Oil paint, paint, polyurethane lacquer, the colored varnish are (so because transparent preferred; " lacquer " is meant with the NC Nitroncellulose to be principal component, wherein adds natural resin, synthetic resin, plasticizer), be called resin, coating classes such as the synthetic latex lacquer a kind (AEP) of acrylic latex lacquer, the synthetic latex lacquer 2 kinds (EP) that is called water based emulsion, ethylene chloride resin enamel paint.

In addition, among the present invention, also can mix the dyestuff, the dye liquor that use with in the blue The くも method of dying in the liquid medium.Artificial plant after the change color, is changed to blueness by developing the color after this dyestuff oxidation of airborne oxygen by with the dyestuff, the dye liquor that use in the The くも method.These pigments move and prevent that agent can be dissolved in the solvent by suitably uses such as sprayings according to necessity.At this moment, suitably use is moved at the marginal portion of petal, leaf coating pigment and is prevented agent, can prevent that pigment from moving.These pigments move and prevent that agent from both can make in its material that penetrates into formation petal, leaf fully, also can allow and use color change partly by suitably using on the surface of petal, leaf, prevent that pigment from moving.

Further, prevent agent, can make apperance (spot apperance, globule apperance), figure, mark, literal or its combination of expectation in the part of petal or leaf if use tunicle formation property pigment to move.That is,, suitably use tunicle to form the property pigment and move and prevent agent, pigment is moved on that part, can make the apperance of expectation etc. according to the apperance etc. of expectation.When using hydrophobic, oleophobic agent, can obtain such enjoyment of unexpected apperance, under situation clear and definite under the known conceivable situation or as information, preferably use tunicle to form the property pigment and move and prevent agent.Particularly, when the liquid medium that contains pigment was water system, the preferred tunicle that uses oil system formed the property pigment and moves and prevent agent, and the liquid medium that contains other pigments is an oil when being, preferably used the tunicle of water system to form to move with pigment to prevent agent.

In order to prevent that the pigment that spreads into petal or leaf from moving, also can around petal or leaf, be provided with and prevent the pigment mobile material.Prevent that the pigment mobile material from can constitute by plant mao short fiber of processing design by static around petal or leaf.Perhaps, prevent that the pigment mobile material from can be made of the banded sheet material of the both sides of edges that is clamped in petal or leaf.

In addition, as above-mentioned, also can be by holder material, the size partly of adjusting flower, the speed that adjustment changes etc.For example, holder partly is an absorbency such as water imbibition and when big, because it is more to grade from holder part evaporation water, so have tendencies early such as the speed that liquid medium drinks up is fast, change color.

In addition, can adjust the apperance of flower portion by the way of the hydrophobic/oleophobic property material of coating.Also can be according to the speed of coating weight adjustment variation.

Further, also can make the differences such as color change speed of each petal by materials such as several petals of combination.

Further, in artificial plant of the present invention, when having a plurality of colored portion, can be by at least one petal be communicated with the absorbency material of stem core, other petals are not communicated with the absorbency material of stem core, produce the petal and the indeclinable petal of color, apperance variation, apperance, the impression adjust, integral body spent in design.For example, the petal of colored central part is communicated with the absorbency material of stem core, the petal of periphery is not communicated with the absorbency material of stem core.At this moment, because pigment can not arrive the petal of periphery, so even touch wall or clothes can not pollute them yet.In order not to be communicated with the absorbency material of stem core, these other petals can be connected with stem crust (plastic tube etc.), perhaps form this other petals with non-absorbency material.

In a kind of preferred implementation of the present invention, the pigment of use can be that light resistance is weak.When irradiates light (sunshine, ultraviolet ray) on the colored portion of the pigment colored a little less than the light resistance or leaf portion, this pigment fades gradually, and finally colored portion or leaf portion become original color.Having the colored portion of fading like this or the artificial plant of leaf portion can utilize again.

In addition, in other the preferred implementation of the present invention, the pigment of use can be obtained by the strong pigment combination of the pigment a little less than the light resistance and light resistance.During irradiates light (sunshine, ultraviolet ray), the weak pigment of light resistance fades in colored portion by making up their 2 kinds of pigment colored or the leaf portion, and the pigment that light resistance is strong appears at colored portion or leaf portion.For example, when being used in combination weak yellow 403-1 number (C.I.10316) of the strong redness of light resistance No. 102 (C.I.16255) and light resistance, flower portion begins to be coloured to orange, when solar irradiation is mapped to colored portion or leaf portion, yellow 403-1 number weak (C.I.10316) of light resistance fades gradually, along with the color of its colored portion of fading has redness, present redness at last.Like this, can reach colored color through the time change.

As the pigment a little less than the light resistance, except yellow 403-1 number, can also use yellow No. 5 (C.I.15985), No. 201, brown and/or red No. 401 (C.I.45190).As the strong pigment of light resistance, except red No. 102, can also use yellow No. 4 (C.I.19140), blue No. 1 (C.I.42090), red No. 227 (C.I.17200), No. 401, purple and/or black No. 401.
