These plants are beautiful.  They do look very real.  They came packed very well, (almost too well), but the cactus plant was a little woobly, I had some acrylic glue, or the stuff that you seal around sinks, that I stuffed down into the hole of the plant so that it would not move.  It worked and the plant it really sturdy, now I just have to touch it up with a black marker, but I'm very pleased with the look &the quality.  I just have not decided where I will put them.
