And the reverse situation. My son in law is huge into succulents and is a real deal plantophile (is that a word?). A co-worker two years ago gave him a pot filled with succulents for his birthday. He said Oh Great!, went through the whole graciousness thing. They weren't real.
She still doesn't have a clue. He keeps them on a windowsill in his office. She comes in, admires them, remarks on how vibrant they still look and asks about his care of them. He shows her how he mists them (keeps the dust off) and even lets her water them occasionally.
I did get them back and I have one I think in bud. I miss placed the tags 
but will stick them back in as soon as the blooms pop out.
