The colour depends on the fertilizers in which they are served. Plants will take their natural look in the aquarium. You will receive plants looking similar like on the photo (without pot, cup).
The size of the plant shows how big it can grow in the aquarium. That gives information to the buyers where to position plant in the aquarium.
