What beautiful flowers. I love purple because the second I look at it, I feel a rush of joy.

I’ve been to the Warren Woods many times and strongly believe that Mr. C picked an ideal spot to propose...

Thanks for painting a picture of the noisy city with your words. Despite the noise, I miss the place.

How lovely to turn an unexpected wait in a vast airport into an artful observation. Thank you for looking outside...

That sure is a nice picture of mums ! So very colorful and the plants look very healthy as well.

I’m really fond of chrysanthemums, especially the traditional kind, which are grown as perennials and are often gangly tall bushes, quite unlike these specially cultivated throwaways. My grandfather used to cultivate mums, including the enormous spider mums, whose long curving petals are tendril-like. The pleasure of chrysanthemums comes partly from their being such a late-blooming flower, flourishing throughout autumn and continuing to flower until a hard frost kills them off.
You can get some idea of how varied chrysanthemums can be by visiting this pinterest page (which also has pictures of dahlias): http://www.pinterest.com/sharla39/chrysanthemums-dahlias/
Enjoy!
