Everything in moderation I say---including flowers---so called silk or real ones. A few weeks ago I passed by a nice new designer home that must have 15 or 20 hanging baskets and a number of potted ones of various flowers in the front yard and up and down the driveway. Not moderation and IMHO tacky. Lucky not my neighborhood.

All in the eye of the beholder I say.

What do you think about plastic flowers being put out in a front yard? Are you for or against?
A phone call to Deed Compliance, and they will be gone in a week

Lawn ornaments are definitely not allowed, but really who cares. I wouldn't rat anyone out unless they had a real eyesore, like a rusty old car stored on their front lawn.

an 85 year old putting a flower in a pot that she does not have to take care of everyday and can sit on her lanai and see the color, would never bother me, but that's me

I am not the OP but it is usually easy to spot plastic flowers because they are faded or unnatural looking. I have used them before and if carefully chosen and replaced often, they look real and no one realizes they are artifical. Why would I care? i would care for the same reason that I would not like a purple house or pink flamingos. They are tacky.

Beautifully said...and I suppose that is so of personal adornment like tattoos and piercings and half mast britches.

I am truly getting old. Some things make me want to cry out.

Hmm, you're giving me an idea...
