Let's Divert From Reefs Momentarily Let's See Flowers

Plumeria that I somehow managed to grow and flower on my Indiana front porch.
Went to Hawaii on our honeymoon 26 years ago and loved the smell.

Not really much of a flower but if any if you are familiar with pokeweed this one appeared in one of my Gals flower beds this year. Its taller than our giant sunflowers used to get. She gardens similar to how I reef and doesn't want to kill everything but instead likes to wait and see what it turns into. I did tell her she will want to remove the berries before they seed.

Southern Magnolia Tree flower. Magnolia Grandiflora (Edith Bogue variety)
In my front yard, planted way too close to the house.

I have a question for those of you that have to keep deer away from your flowers.
I am losing the battle with my hanging baskets with petunias. They absolutely love them.
I have a diy shepherds hook in my front yard that I keep the hanging baskets with petunias.
They look awesome until the deer come through and literally strip them of flowers and foliage.
I've tried a variety of deterrents such as chemical, motion activated sprinklers and a product called wireless deer fence. None of the chemical solutions have slowed them down, the wireless deer fence only works if you can get them to touch their nose on them ( electric shock) and they seem to manage to get through the 3 different motion activated sprinklers I have.
I want to hear your solutions.
