Friday Fake Flower

When I first saw this flower I was amazed by the greeness of the leaves.  Of course with a closer look they are fake.  Why?  Just behind them there was a beautiful real orchid flower.  Maybe it is for year round color?  It certainly isn't due to lack of fertile soil or water.
The arrangement is part of the decor at the  "Rice Paddy" the local watering hole/restaurant/bar near school, where I had a spicy basil chicken dish for dinner tonight.
