I cannot wait to put my real flowers in these stylish individual vases, but as I ordered in the middle of winter, they now hold seasonal silk flowers. I grow so many smaller flowers that I was excited to see this smaller scaled version of a larger similar one I have. The fact that they can be moved into different designs or arrangements was one of the features that attracted me to them..line them up in a straight line, form a circle, or a free form wave. The vases look a bit amber colored in the picture, but they are a clear glass and contrast nicely with the black bases.
