The petals were just as described. The added information about use and care was included. The packaging was secure and the petals came in looking perfect. There was even a handwritten note referring to my instruction note on my order form so I know they took the time to pay attention to details and get the perfect coloring I wanted. I'm attaching my photos. These petals were used for a spreading of the ashes at sea. The petals were the perfect touch. The floated on the water for a long time and the colors were vibrant enough to be seen by everyone aboard the vesssel. It was the perfect way environmentally to show love for a final goodbye. I appreciate the Petal Garden and will always come back for any future needs. Thank you for helping make my event even more meaningful and special. And just to add, it's been a week and the petals are stilling holding up freshly. I'm intrigued to see that they will last from months to years and will definitely be keeping an eye on them. Thanks again!
