Ours came from when it was a model home and they left all, and I mean ALL of them for us. There were too many in my opinion and many not my taste. We kept the smaller ones like yours and gave away the tall palm tree type. <br />Also, wanted to say thanks for commenting on my blog the other day. I love your blog and now your newest follower. I'd love if you followed back. I hope you're having a great weekend!

My house doesn't have great natural light. If I open the blinds and shades for the plants, the sunlight fades the upholstery, rugs, books, etc, so I've switched to fakes. Putting them in a decent pot does wonders. My cat will eat anything grasslike, real or not, so I usually buy good looking fake ferns. He leaves those alone.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03041089835398103207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5957557201358022214.post-86994318669571295682012-03-19T13:34:04.324-07:002012-03-19T13:34:04.324-07:00I use 'faux' plants/greenery all the time ...I use 'faux' plants/greenery all the time when I stage houses and many of them look better than the real ones! Often I have homeowners asking me how often they need to water them! <br /><br />Unfortunately, to be honest, I've found that usually when it comes to fakes, you get what you pay for! Cheap plants and flowers look cheap. You've definitely got the right idea by putting them in another pot. I sometimes even put a bit of real soil on top of what there! (although I'm not sure if that would be a problem with a cat).<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by my place today!Carol-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11971833343080910423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5957557201358022214.post-13276592586676082722012-03-19T12:52:32.223-07:002012-03-19T12:52:32.223-07:00It looks real from your pictures!
