My neighbor is an avid gardener and this faux geranium actually fooled her from a few feet away.  She had to go up and touch it to see if it was real or not.  A+++++ for this product because it is the most realistic flowering plant I have ever seen or bought.  I HIGHLY recommend these geraniums because they are sooo realistic even an avid gardener couldn't tell until she touched it to see if it was real or not.
