 I hear ya.  there is  hurd of deer that come through my property  and eat every flower , even ones that  they usually  don't like. They strip my lilac  bushes . I  have to put up fencing around my vegetable garden and all my flowering trees & bushes.  On my front porch and patio the deer eat  my potted flowers.  I am going to try faux  ones this yr in planters because I am tired of lifting heavy   potted flowers into my gargae each night so the deer won't eat them.

Yes! I am not a big fan of faux, but I have a large obelisk..tall and semi enclosed on all sides. It would be a huge pain to plant around the base of this trellis so hanging a faux plant like this will work.  

I most likely would not use it if it was going to be seen up close but for the location I need it, I am hoping it works!

I have faux flowers in my pots (4) and real rose bushes.

I'm fine with it and so is DH.

I think the faux greenery spheres looks more realistic than the flowered ones....our home is set much farther back from.the street, so when I used faux red geraniums in a planter on the front porch, no one could tell from the street they weren't real. I caught DH last summer watering them when he was watering my real flowers.  It sounds like the faux plants are the solution to lots of things...extreme heat, blazing sun, deer and other wildlife, and of course, the almost zero- maintenance involved. Artificial turf is becoming a big business here in our area due to the drought, heat, and the cost of mowing. We may put some down on one side of our house in a long, narrow area where it gets no sun at all. 

l I do think the hanging baskets are really pretty, but aren't going to fool anyone if they are hanging outside...no one's flowers look that perfect, but if you love them and want to hang them on your porch, do it!

I agree with you @PhillyGirl23. Fake flowers inside are one thing, outside, sorry, but they're just not for me.

Yes, no water, no bugs, creatures don't eat them,

From the street they look real.

Yes, I see faux flowers and plants a lot when I have been taking my walks.  Sometimes it has been hard to tell that they are not real.  I have not done so myself but have been tempted to.  We have squirrels who dig up and destroy just about every bulb and plant and flower!  And we've tried so many things to keep them from doing it!  It's very frustrating!

I have fake geraniums on my patio. I found a place online that sells them. They are expensive as you can't tell they aren't real. I can't use real flowers as the deer eat them . And I wouldn't have the fake flowers if they didn't look real. They aren't plastic either. They last about three seasons.

@proudlyfromNJ  Do you mind sharing the website where you got yours?

I haven't been able to find faux for outdoors that don't look fake.  I ordered two hanging baskets from Amazon because they looked really pretty in the pictures.  I was disappointed when I saw them IRL so sent them back.
