I bought these to use in a centerpiece for a fund raising theme luncheon. My table's title was "In a Fairy Garden." These were so perfect that several ladies asked me where I had bought them. I had purchased numerous items for the table and couldn't recall just then where I had gotten them, but, lo and behold, here they are! I will be happy to pass along the good news, and to anyone else looking for a little special color and something extra, these are great. I will use them indoors more likely than outdoors, but they seem fine for either. I think it will depend on how they are used whether they have the impact that you want: use twinkle lights around them; put a couple of artificial butterflies, bees and/or birds with them; wrap ivy or other trailing vines around their bases; add ribbons; glue a few little sequins or other sparkles on them; use several tea lights around them. Don't expect them to look like real flowers. Be creative!
