Stunning! When I originally purchased this I was going to put it on top of a bookshelf because I figured people would be less inclined to think it was fake if it was up high. Well, when I got the plant I could not believe how realistic it is in person! I decided to place it on my mantle because it is too pretty to put up high. I actually had a friend come over who thought they were from my lavender garden. I might get a second one in pink for my bedroom. Great purchase!
