These do not look like real flowers.  They are stunning nonetheless and I put them in a crystal pitcher on a high shelf.  The problem is each one is identical and they are made of thick plastic so there is no "primping" possible.  Basically I would not order these again.  Flowers are the hardest thing to fake because they are the most beautiful things on earth, so typically you need to consider they won't work up close, but these really don't make the cut.
