This really is a lovely decoration. From afar, it looks like a perfect, real orchid. However, I docked it a star because when you get up close, you can clearly see glue and plastic in the center of each orchid. I'm not sure my flower was particularly well-stored, because some of the petals are bent the wrong way, and they can't really be fixed. I'm glad I got this one, but I wouldn't order another one.
