We think this looks like 2 generations of flamingos. In reality, the faded ones have been in our shade garden for years. A while back, we heard that the company making them was going out of business, so we held onto our couple, intending to repaint them. Now, they are in every store. Instead of replacing, DH just put the new couple out with the old. If Flame wants to see his grandparents, he's welcome to stop by.

Hi Jacquie! WE have 2 of those also but they sit in front of the woods by our pavillion. They were originally my Momma and Daddy's and they had them for years and years. I've had them for about 7 years now.


Love the picture of your shade garden!


Hugs, Jackie

LOL, Jacquie. Great picture. I'm afraid Flame could get a little depressed thinking this could happen to him. (He probably goes in for touch ups once in awhile.)--Pat

Flame was in mourning for a couple of months when he found out the plastic flamingo factory had closed.

Now don't take this the wrong way but Flamingos get their color from what they eat so I would say you starved them......lol


The last couple of years flamingos have popped up all over the place. Metal ones plastic, wind socks, wind shimes everything....they are all over the place.
