I was a little disappointed when I found two things. First, the vase does not come with it, and second, the fronds can be used in nothing but a large floor vase. Theyre just way too big for anything to sit on a table. The picture is very misleading. Theyre pretty, but now I have to find a vase to put them in. Im sure I could cut them, although Id have to have someone strong do it since the branch (yes branch. Stem is to thin to describe it) is very thick. But the flowers are too tall for that to be a good solution. Ill figure it out, but its not what I expected.
