This is as close to what Mother Nature can do, not only the way it was crafted but also the color. One has to touch it to know the difference. I bought two of them. They came in perfect condition as they were carefully packed. They're hanging beautifully in our deck visible outside the house and through the great room windows from inside the house. Friends that visit are in awe of these real-looking ornamental flowering plants. They're always amazed when I tell them they're not real! I've got one of them so far who will be ordering this product. She said it is exactly what she needs! I myself am ordering another pair to hang by the balcony windows in the front of the house. Will always highly recommend this to anyone.
