My mom tries really hard to have flowers in the yard, but due to weather and squirrels it never lasts. For years, she'd plant flowers all around the house and they'd look gorgeous for a month or so, until it had either flooded, droughted, hailed, or the petals had been eaten off by woodland critters. One day she came home and said "I found flowers that those damn squirrels won't eat," and pulled out these lovely pink blooms. She arranged them in hanging pots on the back patio and they've been there for years, blooming all year long. Many friends have been fooled into leaning up for a sniff only to be confused by the lack of a scent.
And Mom was right- squirrels don't eat fake flowers.
