I read the reviews on this orchid, and picture and reviews looked good, but I am not that impressed, quite honestly. I intended to put it on my dining room table, but have decided to put it in bathroom instead, I actually think the bowl it's self is a bit ugly, and the orchid is a bit cheap looking. Can't understand why it had to come all the way from germany in the first place. To much bother to send back. Otherwise I would have.
