@PhillyGirl23  I do, but mine are silk. I've used silk flowers outside for years. They hold up season after season. I have a large deer population that in years past ate everything like a salad bar. lol.

Hi @Kachina624  I thought the spheres looked too perfect also. The ones I bought came in sections that created the spheres, so I separated them into "imperfect" shapes that look more natural.

Another mean post by this person. Check out her/his previous posts.  This time flinging insults to anyone that likes faux plants.

Yep, never thought I would be that person but last year I was. I have had three large hanging baskets on my deck that I would buy the plants and put together beautiful arrangements each year. We go between two homes so we could be gone for a few weeks. We either had to lug the baskets with us (and they usually got damaged) or pay housecleaning lady to come and water them everyday while we were gone. Had enough of that so bought the fake hanging baskets last year from QVC and they were fine with me. It was either do that or have nothing...I chose the fake flowers.

LOL!   I guess some people like to and if that's your thing then that's fine.  Myself I would never do that, but that's me.  

 

ETA:  Of course I don't live in the desert like some of you so I get it.


@LindaSal  And I guess you don't have the deer eating every edible plant or flower in your yard.

@PhilaLady1   I don't see anything mean.  She's just expressing an opinion with which you apparently don't agree but many others do.  Live and let live.  We all have our own ideas.

@proudlyfromNJ Not these days, but when I lived in my home out in the woods we did have deer eating our holly bushes all the time.   Now we're in a townhouse and have landscapers that do all the planting and yard work.  They know what the deer don't eat I guess because we border a state park with 300 acres so we still have them around Smiley Happy

There are many levels of quality in faux florals and greenery.  Some look very nice.

 

If I were going to put high a quality arrangement or greenery on my porch, I would put it where it wouldn't sunburn.

@LindaSal  I have tried every flower there is and I can't find any they won't eat. It's very frustrating so I gave up and got the silk or whatever they are ones. So far so good.
