We bought a house in New Jersey, once. There were plastic flowers stuck into a front-yard flowerbed! I thought that was silly.
Even more so after we bought the place, and they removed the plastic flowers before leaving!
It turned out to be a divorce situation, where the wife was vindictive, and BOTH had a funny sense of what improves a property's value.
I didn't care, since there was no way to propagate plastic flowers ... that I knew of.
