The parasol was light bamboo coloring with red flowers all around it.  I thought ordered a white parasol with pink and lavender flowers.  I am not complaining, however, because this one is much prettier.  It's a little tough to open it to the latch.  It's a beautiful parasol.  Shades me nicely from the harsh sun out here.  I would have given it 5 star except that it was so different from the design I ordered.  I was lucky, though, it's prettier.
