I LOVE these plastic pumpkins, I loved using one as a child & I was thrilled to find a few in a thrift store. Next I had to come up with a reason to use them, other than as candy containers-although that would work, to offer trick-or-treaters a grab into a jacko lantern instead of a large plastic bowl. I put silk mums & Chinese Lanterns! I can't grow them but I have a version now that will last for awhile. I arranged the 'silk' flowers, mums, lanterns, & leaves & they are now hanging from the ceiling on hooks.
