Finally found my Flamingos

qvcfreak — Sat, 20 Apr 2024 01:45:19 GMT

I've been looking for Flamingos to decorate my back yard but no luck. Wednesday I went to Corpus for a 2 day meeting. After dinner on Wednesday we went to do a little shopping and I wasn't even looking and just came face to face with them. They were the last two.

Those are gorgeous! I have two but they aren't as pretty, the heads on yours are really nice. The problem I have is keeping them standing up. I may have to enlist my husband because no matter what I do they fall over.

OOOH, @qvcfreak, those are some stylish flamingoes!. Just a "curiosity" question: Did you drive or fly to Corpus?

We drove @laluzdelmundo, I live in the Rio Grande Valley just 2.5 hours away.

My sister got these at Costco last year. Hers are a lot bigger but she has a much bigger yard than I do.

I hope they don't topple over @spumoni99 but I'll figure a way to keep them standing.

Love all the pics that have been posted. I've always wanted some but my fam made fun of me. Well, they are grown and gone so I may have to go for it...

@qvcfreak I love those! I have quite a few flamingos in my back yard. We use metal & plastic spikes to keep them upright.

I have one from Hobby Lobby that is so tall, that when I brought it home the head stuck out of the window of the car.

I have some hot pink spray paint to tweak them when they've faded or have some rust spots.

Good for you!!

Isn't in fun when you find something that you've been looking for and hadn't been able to find?

@qvcfreak They were just standing there waiting for you. It was meant to be.

@Mary Bailey my daughter is a lover of all things flamingo and I so wanted to buy her one from Hobby Lobby but it was taller than me and aside from having a little Nissan Sentra to get it home in our grandsons car seat takes up half the back the seat.

Maybe use Gorilla Glue and glue garden stakes to the bottom of their feet so you can stick them in the ground to anchor them.🦩🦩

Speaking of Flamingo sculptures, this is 21ft. "Phoebe" at Tampa international Airport. She is situated so that we are underwater with her in a wetland as she is searching for brine shrimp ( that is what gives flamingos their pink/coral color).
