I like those plastic ones so much, I named a pole bean after them.

Here's a pic (not mine)...

Lovely beans. They look worthy of the name. Your creation, Tormato?

I wonder why at least two of my neighbors have plastic deer in the yard when every day they have real deer in the yard. :?

You can't argue with a closed mind.
You might as well be arguing with a cat.

I think it's funny too. One evening at Christmas time I was driving through our neighborhood and noticed all of the decorative deer that people had lit up for the holidays. I drove past one yard and thought, gee they don't have their deer lit yet. The deer moved. Oh, I thought, those are real...

It was an accidental creation. It is "wax" bean, as pods turn yellow after cooking.

It took me more than a year to finally come up with a name. But, after going by a house with the plastic lawn ornaments...

These flamingos are not mine. Someone in my neighborhood put these in their yard. Looks like the birds are practicing social distancing.

And even worse, some have migrated to Australia!! Where's the shotgun when you need it.


Ps don't mind the look of that bean, any idea of the parents behind it?
