Some silks are really beautiful. I am sure yours are lovely.

PRIOR to The Villages....
We were also guilty... all around the inside of pool fence we had arrangements of silk flowers.

Also, a friend had lots of custom made silk flowers ALL around their yard.
The local Garden Club did a magazine write up, complete with photos,
featuring their grounds. The article also explained how lovely the flowers were...
complete with naming the varieties of their lovely flowers ...
...YUP...all their flowers were silk.

...again......YES to the silk flowers....Nay to to plastic ones.
