So they are bought everywhere now so full of blossoms, it tricks you into thinking, they would look like that in your home. I was given one as a stunning gift, it came in a beautiful blue pot, the flowers were a purplish in color. They were stunning for 5 days, then all the flowers fell off, so I cut the stick, then the leaves turned brown. So I’m going to get an impossible to kill plant & stick it into that beautiful pot. The shadows across the petals are from the ceiling above.
