Plastic or the real thing?

 Everyone is getting into the spirit of summer by decorating with flowers.  The Downtowner car wash is spiffing up the building with a few blooms of their own  Perhaps I can persuade them to get rid of the artificial blossoms and trade them for some live flowers!

  1. I am not a fan of plastic flowers, but do you think they would remember to water real ones?

  2. Definitely (and always!) the real thing. What a difference to your previous post.

  3. From a distance they look good. Just don't get too close. :)

  8. I'm going to guess plastic or maybe silk. They do add to the look of the place.

  9. Maybe a big firecracker would do the trick. Sorry.

  10. The side basket made me smile Kate, talk about overkill :) they do look pretty from afar though and maybe they don't have the time to fuss.. they made an effort and that's the main thing :)
    p.s. would have loved to see Maggi's face when she heard the Kookaburra :)

  11. I like 'em a lot, faux or not. Real flowers might be expensive and difficult to maintain. If you do persuade them to change, I'd like to know how you did it! :)

  13. No idea, but it might be a difficult location to have real flowers in.

  14. I know I'm picky, but even from a distance the colors read "fake!" to me. But it looks better than a blank wall, so I guess that's not a complaint.
