Outdoor Flowers

Lately it has been very hot and very dry. Most outdoor flowers are looking very sad indeed. I have a friend who lives in an arid climate but always has beautiful flowers. What's her secret? Instead of real flowers she substitutes an Artificial Flower in their place. She understands that over time they will fade and weather can destroy them but she figures that in her climate it is cheaper than the cost of annuals and water. She usually can get a few seasons out of a Silk Flower but she is ok if something happens. Because of this she has beautiful and colorful flowers all the time and she never worries about weeds, watering, pruning. In fact, if they start looking a little dusty she lightly hoses them off. In the winter, she pulls them out and puts them in storage for the year.
