"They come in lengths of 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 (blossom's). Each blossom is about the size of a dime. They clump together which makes them look real. With my turtle dock I need about 3 (or worst case 4) packs if I want to fill my 30 gallon tank. They will go where ever the current takes them. They will also get knocked down by any kind of filter that poors back in. My turtle can break right through tangled pieces to get to the surface. I clean them in diluted bleach then rinse. Good stuff"
