What you can't see clearly is whether the stalks are really growing out of the green thing or are just shoved in. The glad wrap on them seems to either cover/hide the point of connection or holds the stem in place to add some sort of verisimilitude to things.
If the stems are genuine, I'd suggest these are tomatoes grown in some sort of mold.
A second thought - if you look at the green things, you'll see they are in two halves with a line clearly showing the point of connection/joining. If the stems are genuine, then I'd suggest there are real tomatoes or something similar inside the 2 halves of the Buddha which is then glued together and wrapped in glad wrap so it doesn't fall apart.
Just my cynical thoughts.
