    Customer Reviews

    Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 2 reviews.

    The picture for this product looks like an almost neon pink that has a great deal of white permeating the middle of the flower. I just had my first bloom and the flower is a gorgeous darker fuchsia color with thing white stripes throughout the petals. For me, I like it much better than what was pictures as the product but I do believe it's important to note that for anyone who is desiring a flower closer to what is pictured, you may be a bit disappointed.
