Provided is an assembled simulation potted plant, including a pot body and plants; third. connecting portions are disposed on the pot body, at least two plants are provided, first connecting portions are disposed at lower parts of the plants, second connecting portions are disposed at upper parts of the plants, the connecting portions fit with the first connecting portion; a plurality of second connecting portions are disposed at an upper part, or a plurality of third connecting portions on the pot body are provided. In the present disclosure, the plants may be installed vertically in turn, the simulation potted plant has a great height variation range. Plants can be installed in the pot body, so the assembled simulation potted plant has a great horizontal dimension variation range, various different optimal states are greatly different; users may obtain a variety of greatly different potted plant shapes when purchasing one assembled simulation potted plant.

Apparatus and associated methods relate to a lighted tree formed from a tree trunk section retaining a battery holder, branches extending from the trunk section, a light source disposed to emit light from a branch and electrically connected to the trunk section, and a base, adapted to mechanically support the trunk section and electrically connect the battery holder to an energy source external to the trunk section. In an illustrative example, the light source may be an LED-illuminated optic fiber. In some embodiments, the energy source may be a photovoltaic collector or multifrequency energy harvester. In some designs, the battery holder may adaptively maintain electrical polarity independent of battery orientation. In various implementations, battery holders may be stacked or rotated to one another to configure parallel or series batteries. Various embodiments may advantageously retain batteries in rotationally interconnected tree sections for common charging, or single in-tube section for smaller trees.

An artificial flower that attaches to the neck of the side view mirror of a vehicle. The artificial flower attaches to a clamp that attaches to a strap. The strap is secured to the neck of the side view mirror via a fastener. The artificial flower is made of a polymer or of an equally resistant material.

A dual-color light string comprising a first insulated electrical wire cord, a second insulated electrical wire, two light-emitting diode devices (LED devices) and transparent glue. The first insulated electrical wire is partially exposed to form a first soldering section. The second insulated electrical wire is partially exposed to form a second soldering section. The two LED devices are respectively electrically connected to the first soldering section and the second soldering section, and the directions of bias of the two LED devices from the first soldering section to the second soldering section are opposite to each other; The transparent glue covers the two LED devices, the first soldering section and the soldering section, extends to partially cover a first insulating layer of the first insulated electrical wire and a second insulating layer of the second insulated electrical wire.

A decorative floral ornament includes a hollow tubular main stem having opposed base and upper ends. The ornament also includes a head, attached to the upper end of the main stem and formed from plural interconnected tubular segments. The head is attached to the main stem at a central hub, which has a plurality of primary segments extending outwardly therefrom. An outer edge portion of the head includes a plurality of secondary segments interconnecting distal ends of the primary segments. The ornament also includes a flexible filament extending through, and interconnecting the head and the main stem. In general, the head includes at least three primary segments, with distal ends thereof interconnected by secondary segments, and all of the segments connected together by the elastic filament. The central hub is a junction point where proximal end portions of the primary segments are connected together.

The invention comprises a method. The method comprises applying to a primary backing and loop backs of a tufted synthetic turf a plurality of solid polymer particles having a particle size less than or equal to 1,000 microns such that a layer of solid polymer particles is formed across the width and length of the primary backing, wherein the polymer particles are applied to the primary backing at a rate of approximately 10 to approximately 18 ounces of polymer per square yard and wherein the solid polymer particles are thermoplastic polymer particles or a mixture of thermoplastic polymer particles and thermosetting polymer particles. The method also comprises heating the polymer particles on the primary backing and loop backs to a temperature at or above the melting temperature of the polymer particles and allowing the heated polymer particles to cool below their melting temperature wherein the tufted synthetic turf has bundle lock of at least 6.8 pounds and the tufted synthetic turf has a water permeability of at least 10 inches of water per hour.

An underlayment layer is configured to support an artificial turf assembly. The underlayment layer comprises plurality of panels, each panel comprising a core with a top side and a bottom side. The top side has a plurality of top projections. The top projections form top side water drainage channels. The panels have edges, with the edges of one panel abutting the edges of adjacent panels, thereby forming a drainage path between adjacent panels. The panel edges have vertical support extensions that extend into the drainage paths between adjacent panels. The vertical support extensions have an upper surface for supporting an artificial turf assembly overlying the turf underlayment layer, and the panel edges having one or more complementary indentations corresponding to vertical support extensions of adjacent panels. When the panels move toward each other, thereby closing drainage paths between adjacent panels, the vertical support extensions are received in the corresponding indentations.

Methods and systems for making artificial flowers are disclosed. The method can include wrapping a first flower wrapper having between 1 and 5 petals around a foam core to form a first flower construct, or bud. The method can include wrapping a second flower wrapper having between 1 and 5 petals around the first flower construct, or bud. The method can include wrapping a third flower wrapper having between 1 and 5 petals around the second flower construct. The method can include wrapping additional layers of flower wrappers around flower constructs, including, but not limited to, 3 more layers of flower wrappers. Wrapping a flower wrapper around a core or a flower construct may be done manually or in an automated fashion. Wrapping a flower wrapper around a core or a flower construct may be done petal by petal or all petals simultaneously.
