These had such great reviews, I was so hopeful.  The picture makes the petals look real.  However, in person, these are far from real looking.  Perhaps if it is used high up on a shelf where someone can't get up close and personal with it, it may be ok...but personally, I was completely unimpressed with this item especially for the price.  I will provide the following disclosure that I'm pretty picky when it comes to using faux florals. These were returned due to damage in shipping, however, I would have returned them regardless.
