Long Shot

I'm looking for information on something I've always thought were called Mohair Flowers. They are big poofs of some kind of fiber (mohair, maybe) that usually have a plastic buttony thing in the middle of them. They were popular around the seventies, I think.

I tried googling for "mohair flower," but nothing that fit the above description came up. I'd like to know how to make them or, if instructions are unknown, where to buy them.

If anyone knows what I'm talking about, it would be nice to have the technical name of these things so I could do some searching for it. Plus, it would be nice to validate the existence of them because I'm starting to think maybe I just made them up in my head.
