Let me start by saying these artificial daisy flowers with eucalyptus leaves are a MIXED BAG. I hung them on my shaded balcony where real plants always die, and wow—the vibrant yellow petals actually made my neighbors do a double-take! The UV-resistant claim holds up; after 3 weeks in direct sunlight, zero fading.
BUT (and it's a big but), that CHEMICAL SMELL hit me like a brick when unboxing. Imagine opening a new vinyl shower curtain—that intense plastic odor lingered for days even outdoors. If you're sensitive to smells, beware!
The "realistic" factor? 8/10. From 5 feet away, they're convincing with detailed leaf veins and soft petal texture. Up close? Obviously fake, but no worse than most artificial plants. I doubled up the bundles in my 14-inch planter for fullness—solo they look skimpy despite the product photos suggesting otherwise.
Biggest win? ZERO maintenance. After heavy rain, they shook right off while my neighbor was replanting her waterlogged geraniums. For busy folks who want instant curb appeal, these deliver... if you can tolerate the initial odor and manage size expectations.
