We ordered 10 count of the Fuchsia Purple lilies and the color was vibrant and matched the image shown online. Wound up buying another 10 count, to balance out the (small vase). The stems look bendy and are flexible but the wire inside means you can twist them around and form the stems in a direction that works best for your vase. This is very handy. Also fairly easy to trim the stems to the length you need, with good scissors. Our cats chomp any living plants below 4ft high, so this option worked out well for sitting on top of a hallway console table.
