I just received 2 of these today & I was pleasantly surprised by how realistic they look. The colors are vibrant & the leaves do not look phony @ all. If you don't care for the glass base they fit in 10" flower pots(ceramic or whatever you choose) They were a bit smaller than I thought, but their realism makes up for that and I definately order more if they came in different colors. My sister saw them and now she's wanting some.
