artificial flowers as wood element

[myfs_146081]

Sir,
How should we classify artificial flowers according to the five element theory. Should we consider them as wood energy.
Thanks

1. There are so many other concepts, why only consider: based on the Five Element theory?
2. Some concepts either logically makes no sense under the Five Elements concept or hard to apply strictly based on the such a concept.
3. For example; if a cabinet is made of wood but painted in red. Some consider it as a fire element because say the entier cabinet is in red lacquer. While some other person may argue that it is a wood element as the entire cabinet is really made of wood.
4. Therefore, usually another concept is applied, here. This concept is none other than "Symbolism in Feng Shui".
5. Thus, symbolism looks at the overall picture. For example, it does not matter whether the cabinet is made of wood; but ulitmately, as the cabinet is red in colour; it symbolises the fire element (FULL STOP).
