Mine were only potted. They faded to grayish white with red speckles. Since, the ones out front have suffered from mold/fungus issues with the leaves turning all sorts of red and brown. Small green offshoots have formed below the spent bloom cuts I made but they won't have enough time to make new flowers this year.

Such beautiful kitchens! Thank you everyone! I think we're aiming for a rustic modern - the kitchen is pretty big, so not as cozy as aktillery' or KathyNY76's first pic (though I LOVE them). Something like this pic that someone posted on breezygirls' backsplash quest. Still figuring out this link/pic thing. I seem to prefer either pretty rustic, or pretty zen versions. Not sure how to avoid something in between that won't hit the spot as well for me - but this is really helpful to see. Will try to figure out how to post more pics!

With regard to Thermofoil option: Yikes! I have yet to see a high quality option. The product is basically a sheet of plastic, printed to look either like wood or a high gloss lacquer. The MDF or particle board door is shaped and then a heater is applied to shape the sheet of plastic over the top and around the sides of the face. It is cooled and cut off along the back edge. Any cabinet next to an oven or dishwasher, will have issues. Period. Over time the sides tend to delaminate and you will get lifting and loose looking edges. Eventually they rip. Trying to match one, if something breaks a door is very difficult and expensive. If your cabinet line offers a free touch up kit- that is wonderful! Just imagine that when your counter top is being installed, they accidentally bump a door face. This is not a warning of an inferior finish- it is a thoughtful manufacturer.
