I have looked at this table top plant for a long time, mostly because of the unique appearance.  I ordered it having at least an idea where I would use it, but waited to see what it actually looked like.  It is not the most authentic looking faux plant I own (up close), but I think it does fine.  The pieces sticking out in the lower section are not as realistic-looking as I had hoped, but they add to the overall uniqueness, so I won't remove or alter them. The "dirt" is also kind of cool.  I ended up putting the plant among a cluster of faux plants, including grasses in a tall neutral vase and a small terrarium that I already had.  I am happy with the arrangement.
