These are a great purchase for the price! I wanted them for 12" ceramic pots on ether side of the front door on our large porch, and they are perfect. They are not skimpy: they were the same size as two live bushes I bought at Christmas which will now be transplanted near a water supply.  Yes, if you are looking intently and close-up, you will realize that these are artificial bushes. But the shading and color of the foliage is quite realistic.  My patio is covered and on the north side of the house, so I am hoping that there will not be a rapid discoloration from the sun. I would definitely re-purchase!
