Pink plastic flamingos are one of the most famous lawn ornaments in the United States along with the garden gnome and other such ornamentation. The plastic pink flamingo was designed in 1957 by Don Featherstone while working for Union Products and has become an icon of pop culture that won him the Ig Nobel Prize for Art in 1996. It has even spawned a lawn greeting industry where flocks of pink flamingos are installed on a victim’s lawn in the dark of night.
