The orchids are very realistic, as pictured, but the arrangement I received has only 2 stems of blooms, not  3 as pictured. I think it may have to do with it being the smaller 22"size, but this is not made clear in the item description. Also the arrangement I received doesn't have a ball shaped base, but more of a 6" straight base. There is 1 photo shown of the smaller 2 stem piece I received, out of 5 or 6 photos. More details need to be given Wayfair for purchases to be made successfully.
