Cross Botanica Refillable Ballpoint Pen, Medium Ballpen, Includes Premium Gift Box - Green Daylily

I was enchanted when I saw this collection of Cross Botanica pens! They are all so beautiful and unique - playful yet delicately gorgeous - it was hard to pick just ONE. I opted for the Green Daylily fountain pen with a FINE nib. I just LOVE the twinkly gold accents that are 3-dimensional, and the finely-drawn flowers are almost Indian Moghul in style - exquisite.As others have pointed out ... the box looked kind of battered and old - as if it'd either been returned once already or sat on a shelf for years. Even so, it came to a loving home. A manual and 2 cartridges were hidden under the pre-formed pen holder in the box. The pen is thin - so those with larger, meatier hands may find it doesn't quite fit the hand. I have small, bony-fingered hands, so it's a perfect size.Be warned that the so-called FINE nib (and mine actually says it's fine) writes like a typical MEDIUM nib pen. The ink comes out thick, wet and BOLD. It will be great to put my signature on cards and letters with this pen. But it is NOT by any means a fine-nibbed pen that you would typically find. I bought a converter the better to fill my new Daylily pen with a gorgeous shade of Kelly green ink! It came with 2 cartridges that appear to be blue ink - bah! You can't put boring blue or black ink in such a feminine, colorful pen!I love it! I would be very tempted to buy at least ONE more of these Cross Botanica pens in a different pattern. It's a great price for a gorgeous pen, and with its so-called FINE nib, it writes really smooth altho BOLD.

This Cross Rollerball pen is beautiful. Seeing it on line does not do it justice. It writes smooth, color is georgeous, and it is not to light. The delivery was quick and it was in the Cross box with the protective padding. Excellent quality.

This product came packaged beautifully. It is nicer than it is pictured. It has a great weight to it. The ink flows well. It came with black ink for the roller ball. It would have been nice to have come with purple ink to match the decor of the pen. I bought extra ink in purple for when the black runs out. I was not disappointed at all. VERY NICE!

I'm very pleased with this pen; bought it to use every day at work. It's comfortable in the hand; nice and weighty but not too heavy. Writes smoothly, dries quickly. I leave it uncapped throughout the day then cap it before I leave work; hasn't dried out. Haven't noticed any fading or pattern wear with heavy use, but that could change. Appearance is stunning, and I get frequent compliments on it from coworkers. I purchased a second one in another pattern. Highly recommend.

This is a stunningly beautiful fountain pen with just the right amount of bling to add a little whimsy to it. The silver accents look amazing. It writes very well most of the time, but is not quite as consistent with various inks as the much less expensive and very popular Pilot Metropolitan pens. That is the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars. For the price, you'd think it would totally outshine a $20 pen, but except for its unique appearance, it doesn't. (To be fair, neither do many other pens!) I'm not at all unhappy with it, though, and I use it a lot. I chose the F nib, but it is not quite as fine as some other F nibs. It comes with two ink cartridges which I have not used yet. For using with bottled ink, you need to purchase the screw-in 8756 converter separately, which I did. This is a lovely pen and along with a nice bottle of ink and the converter, would make an elegant and very unique gift for the woman who has everything.I think the product page contains an error. This pen does not have a gold nib. The nib is stainless steel, which is not a problem.Diamine Damson (smoky purple) or DeAtramentis Alexander Hamilton (deep purple) are pretty choices if you want a purple ink to go with this pen. Or for an unusual blue ink in a gorgeous bottle, there's the more expensive Iroshizuku Kon-peki.

I had my eye on this pen for a little while now because I loved the floral pattern, but was unsure if I really wanted to spend this much on a pen and then possibly be unhappy with it. After receiving it and using it for a few days, I have to say that it does not disappoint! Even as a ballpoint pen, it writes smoothly and the weight of the pen met my expectations in terms of there being a little heft to it but not to the point where it’s too heavy or light to the point where it seems like an average run of the mill pen. The floral etchings and details on the pen are absolutely beautiful. I would definitely recommend this pen.

I'm not sure which one is more gorgeous this one (Green Daylily), or the Botanica Golden Magnolia? But I can honestly say these pens are the most beautiful Pens Cross has ever released. They have carved indentations in them with shinny metal pieces. They are just too nice to write about, you have to see one up close. They come in Ballpoint Pen, Rollerball Pen and Fountain Pen. The Rollerball is Cross's answer to the Fountain Pen in America. The Rollerball writes like a Fountain Pen, but without the mess and the refilling. If you ever get a chance to go into a Cross Pen store, make sure you take a look at these. I can almost guarantee you you will buy one. All I can say is WOW :)

Love, beautiful

I love writing with this pen. The beauty of the design, the size and grip are perfect. The blue medium point lets my writing flow easily.I am disappointed that Cross Med Blue ballpoint refills have become almost impossible to get. Merangue refills are adequate, however, they don't last any length of time and are no longer available in Blue Med.

Bought this as a gift and she loved it.

Bought it as a gift for my wife when she graduated as a Garden designer she was superhappy

It is beautiful and I love this pen. It comes with a fine black ink and would be a beautiful addition to any ladies office!

Arrived reasonably quickly, and it's such a beautiful pen, my partner was delighted with it......
