Do they look like £4.99 worth, though or more or less please?
(I do know it is subjective, just wondered what your opinion was!)
Thanks.

Thank you, I decided to take the plunge and ordered 3 for relatives and one for me. As long as they look half decent I am happy
I did think they looked big in the photo though. Comping from May 2012
Thank you to all that post & contribute, I think you are wonderful, I could not achieve without your help0 -
Hmmm I know I didn't really answer the original question but if you were getting them for yourself then I'd say they did look £9.99. If you are getting them as a present and you wanted the gift to appear dearer then the tin pot might give it away. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice pot and the shoots are just coming up so in a few weeks the pot will look better when the flowers are in full bloom.
ETA: The crocus pot and the mini trio plants do appear to look bigger in the photos on their website so just be aware of that when you order. I ordered the gardenia mini trio for myself and was a little disappointed the gold bar the pots sit in is really just a cheapo plastic holder. I'd ordered the mini rose trio for a friend and realised if the gardenia was in the plastic holder the mini rose trio will be too!0
