Wow, those look so real. I have a tree in my yard and the blossoms/buds look just like that. So much better than today's silk flowers. To me, the buds look like cotton swabs. Maybe they're made the same way.

It is a mix of cloth flowers coated in wax and "buds" which appear almost entirely wax though they are too light so the core must be something else. The leaves are green fabric very lightly coated. Unfortunately it's been disjointed so I have no idea how it was originally arranged. And, it was stored in an attic and the wax softened enough that parts are quite well stuck together.
