I've talked before about the sense of whimsy that you can add to your lawn with the addition of a flock of adorable pink garden flamingos. Placing a colorful flock in your yard lets people know instantly that you're a fun loving person that has a sense of humor. But, the lawn is not the only place these pink birds can go!

Outdoors, your family of flamingos can grace almost any area of your outdoor decorating. Of course flower beds are the second most common sighting of plastic flamingos, after the front lawn, but here are a few other places you might try:

• The Garden Pond – Flamingos LOVE water and, in the wild, you'll usually find them standing in the nearest pond, waiting for a yummy fish to swim by, so why not place your plastic friends in your pond too? If you have planting containers already in your pond, for your water plants, you already have the perfect footing for your flamingos! If not, a carefully placed planting bucket of soil makes a safe and secure foothold for your pink flamingos.

• Along the Driveway - Neatly spaced rows of plastic pink flamingos are a quirky way to accent any driveway. Hang a string of lights along them to guide your guests and for even more evening fun!

• On the Deck or Patio – Place a flamingo in a potted plant on your deck or patio for front or back yard whimsy, no matter how large or small your yard! These guys look great with low to medium sized plantings, where they appear to be standing out in nature.

The possibilities are limitless when it comes to these wonderfully retro flamingos! Whether you choose the Classic Flamingo or Don Featherstone's Original Flamingo Design, no matter where you place them, these are sure to brighten up your outdoor decor!
