If you’re in the baby boomer generation then you do remember Pink Flamingo’s which were very popular from the 1950′s to the 1970′s. If you’re in the YouTube generation then this blog does not apply. Do you love those pink plastic birds or hate them? Do you consider them an eye sore, or do you mentally categorize them in the genre of garden art? Cast your votes! Maybe it is a case of bad taste being acceptable now. For those of us with a flair for nostalgia these pink flamingos can stir up a happy memory of grandma’s front yard.
I remember growing up in Arizona and seeing these pink flamingo’s dotted on front lawns much like today’s garden gnomes, which by the way give me the creeps. I do like these pink flamingo’s photographed in an artsy little backyard garden I encountered over the weekend. I thought this photograph of flamingos with the green succulent in the foreground would make a nice Garden Design Blog today!
FYI- Thinking of that perfect gift for that special someone this holiday season? Pink Flamingos are still easy to find online for about $10.00 per bird. I confess to ordering a few today, but I promised my family I would keep them off the front lawn.
