When I received these I thought nope. Short stemmed. Packed them up to return and lo and behold I spoke with a gal from Wayfair who commented that she loved the Fratessa leaves that I had purchased. I had already repacked, no return at that point. I had a left over vase almost the same color. Grabbed it put the leaves in in varying lengths with some champagne and cream pearl picks and it looks stupendous. These would be beautiful in a long stem version for a tall floor vase which was my first idea but did not even think to look at stem length. They worked out perfectly much to my surprise.
