Plastic Flowers???
 
My wife & I were out on our golf cart when she noticed a few yards with plastic (fake) flowers as part of their landscape.This was south of 466 and she was wondering if this is a deed restriction.If it isn't ..should it be?I'd love to see people's opinions on this matter.I myself don't have a strong opinion but I think it seems to be out of place.

Sounds tacky to me.

I am getting a tension headache. First Salpal was TP'd. and now the plastic flowers.

They aren't allowed south of 466. Why .....when real flowers bloom so easily in this tropical climate???!!!!

YES, I am the plastic flower police. Grrrr.

It's my home town too.

Where is that Dale Evans holster???
What time of the month is it?
No. Nevermind.

Sure sounds tacky and I doubt it is allowed. Cannot wait to get back and see for myself!

On the other hand I wish I had installed a plastic robellini 2 years ago. Mine took a beating last winter :cold:

What? Did they move April Fools to Sept. 22? Nobody told me...

Since the buffalos are gone I personally I think a flock of flamingos might look good lurking in the bushes somewhere along the Buena Vista multimodal trail !

Gracie Girl...you are too funny! This will make you all laugh. North of 466 in an older section, I saw someone with Snow White and all seven of her drawfs on their lawn....plastic flowers aren't sounded so bad are they? You cannot dictate taste, thankfully, we have restrictions!

My personal favorite is the red fire hydrant with a dalmation lifting his leg. There must have been a fire sale since I've seen several around TV.:22yikes:

graciegirl 09-22-2010 05:02 PM

sigh. I can just hear people cancelling their lifestyle visits.:ohdear:

K9-Lovers 09-22-2010 05:18 PM

I saw Snow White and her 7 dwarves and almost crashed my cart craning my neck!

Pturner 09-22-2010 05:30 PM

Next time somebody starts complaining about deed restrictions, we need to post a link this thread!

Maybe we can spread the word somehow to the delinquint teens who are messing around doing bad stuff that older people just LOVE plastic flowers. Maybe then they will pull them up.
