I love this rug. I have a nature theme in my living room with tree and bird curtains and bird pictures and lots of live plants. I searched a long time looking for a rug in greys but couldn't find a design I liked . I noticed this rug had some ferns and cat tail looking plants so I ordered it.To my surprise after I put the rug down and started looking at the pattern  there is actually a duck and heron or egret with a pond like theme through out. Love it!!
