I was certainly impressed by how real the leaves look.  The vase was beautiful as well.  The only downfall of this purchase was when the plant arrived, it had come unglued from the pot (the plant is stuck and glued into styrofoam and the styrofoam was glued to the pot).  There was not much glue holding it together.  Other than having to glue it back together, I am very happy about the look of the plant and pot.
