How to make a million quid?


from the ABC set Dastardly ploys

Observing the facts (1) that most people can identify artifical
flowers as such, (2) that most people despise them, considering them
indicative of lack of taste and miserliness, but (3) that real flowers
are expensive and wasteful, I have come up with a solution. I expect
it'll earn me a fortune.

Wait for it...

Why not make artificial flowers look wilted. mildewed or
insect-ravaged? That way no-one would know they were artificial!

Ahem, have I missed something?
