Branches in the Living Room

Okay, I need some help. I purchased these two sets of black branches and large exotic looking vases to flank my television set, and they just look a little too dead for my taste right now. Does anyone out there have any suggestions on how to brighten them up? I went to numerous stores, Michael's, Target, etc. in order to find flowers or something to add color, and there's nothing! Where can I get a cool accoutrement for these?
