I ordered the Geraniums. When they arrived, I found they were full and naturally colored, with details I didn't expect. But the leaves were all bunched together in a rather unnatural way. (They came lying flat in a box.) I'm slipping these into the flower containers at our cemetery, where the deer notoriously wait for Memorial Day so they can come banquet on all the flowers, geraniums being their favorite. I know these will only be seen from afar. But, even so, I wanted them to look real. Most of the flowers at the cemetery look like... well... fake flowers.I discovered that the leaves come in pairs, with 4-5 pairs per stem. These can be separated, moved up and down the stem, twisted and even removed if necessary. So I spent an oddly satisfying few minutes playing with them, and by the end of my little me-time, they looked very full and realistic! I am very, very pleased.Just to be safe, I have treated them with Krylon UV-protectant spray in hopes I might be able to use them next year, as well. I will be looking for other faux plants/flowers from this manufacturer. Yes, they are made in China, but the quality is definitely better than what I've seen in my local big-box stores, or even what comes from the local floral shops. Someone took the time to observe what geraniums really look like instead of just cramming together coloring-book flowers. Yay!
