lawn flamingo
Pink garden ornament
A lawn flamingo is a plastic ornament shaped like a pink flamingo, placed in yards as decoration.
Introduced in the 1950s, it became an icon of American suburban kitsch—sometimes displayed earnestly, sometimes ironically.
The lawn flamingo signals playful taste or deliberate tackiness: Their yard had three pink lawn flamingos and a garden gnome.
