Very Pretty! (I’d upgrade it to five stars if I could…) When I first opened the package, I was a bit dismayed, because it seemed to have fewer petals on the lotus blossom than were shown in the picture. I quickly realized that the petals were there, they were just all bent in an upward position around the center. So, with a few minor adjustments, all was well.This dripper seems to be made out of real copper, not just junk metal with copper paint on it. It is designed to go in a rather shallow bowl, as shown in the picture. So, if you have a deeper bowl, you will want to set this on top of an upside-down clay pot or similar object.What I really really like is the very heavy soapstone base within which the pump fits. This base removes the problem that I had with similar items in the past – many copper spitters or drippers tip over too easily, as they are top-heavy by design. I bought this to replace an absolutely darling frog spitter that spent much of its time on its side, no matter how much I wedged and wired it to other objects. I can’t imagine that I will have that problem with this item.The pump has a slider adjustment on the side to control the amount of water flowing through. It can be adjusted from a steady stream to a trickle. The petals can be bent up or down to control the direction of the streams of water.I did not give this item five stars because I have yet to see how durable the pump will be. I will post an update at a later date, with information regarding durability.I am very pleased with this purchase so far.Update: December 12, 2009Still going strong without a hint of problems. The copper is turning green on surfaces exposed to air – actually I think it’s quite pretty that way.
