Flowers

This house is on Hanna and Branch. All year round their flowers are bright and pretty. That's because they are plastic.

How funny is that.
What a GREAT idea for those of us too busy to maintain a lovely garden.

I think that is probably the tackiest thing I have ever seen. It looks like a graveyard. Nothing is the same as real flowers. This is so embarrassing to have in our nieghborhood on a main drag. They must be seniors. Who else would do that? Nothing wrong with seniors, just not something your average person would do. Please don't get any ideas from this mess! That is not a role model.

What a great idea if you want to tick-off your neighbors!

I know they have been there for years. I have been gagging at them as I drive by for years.

I was thinking of an astroturf lawn myself, you know, drought and all, with blinking pink flamingos of course.

Tacky or not, there's nothing wrong with it. We should be really thankful for the freedom we have in these older neighborhoods to have some character present.

Gag away. Better than ending up in a deed-restricted Stepfordland.

It is the yards like this make make those Westchase areas that I hate tempting (along with all the sexual criminals living here). Glad I don't have that crap on my street. I feel sorry for the ones that do.

we are certainly not a generic neighborhood - all the yard art at this house is maintained, it has been at this same level for years not continued layering and the yard stays mowed - I would rather be able to say I'm 3 houses down from the "tulips" rather than say "drive past the 8 houses that look just like mine and look for the green front door". No Stepford neighborhood for me - it is evidenced by the comments on this blog that diversity is the key to our'hood and I like it that way.

Anon 2:17 do you need boxes???

I think we keep more of a focus on the sexual predators in this area but pull up the zip-code of your "new & improved" neighborhood - I don't think you will be moving to the "Truman show". They are everywhere.

Maybe the state can maintain a "plastic tulip" database modeled after the sexual predator list so tight asses like anon 2:17 can monitor them and make decisions accordingly.

that data base wouldn't stop there - it would spawn a "plastic flamingo" data base and then a "blue gazing ball" list and then the "wooden fat lady bending over" data base and on and on and before you know it barb wire around the neighborhood to keep out the undesirable element - OH WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TOO???

On another note- Has the association decided on a design for the gates for the neighborhood yet?

It's not something that I find at all attractive but in this particular case someone is taking pride even if it is in their own "style" and I have no problem with it. It's the yards that are overgrown that I don't appreciate. We moved into Seminole Heights because we didn't want the restrictions other neighborhoods impose and so we take the good with the... not so tasteful? ;-)
