I am very satisfied with this purchase. I put it on my newly painted porch and neighbors have commented how nice it looks and are surprised it is fake. I looks fake close up to me. It is made of hard plastic that I thought would have been more fabric or silk flower like. It would have been even better if some leaves were brown or yellow as in real life. I do like it though. Oh and I re-potted it I think than is the reason for the small pot, to put it in a decorative one.
