paper flowers

I'm kind of loving these paper flowers from papersource. I'm not sure in what capacity, though. I've thought about paper flowers in lieu of traditional bouquets; real flowers can be so expensive, and I've never really been a fan of buying or even receiving flowers as a gift b/c frankly, they seem like a bit of a waste of money. However, I'm not sure that a) buying enough paper flowers to make 8 bouquets, 8 boutonnieres, and howwevermany other floral thingamabobbers would be less $$ than inexpensive real-flowers options, and b) I have the patience to make that many paper flowers. Hmmm...
