Mums remind me of Homecoming from my high school days. There were always mum corsages for for sale for the guys to buy for their girlfriends. I enjoyed them from afar...
Last year I planted 3 different small mum plants I bought at Trader Joe's. They were on the table and then went to the garden. They are now about 2 feet across and are just opening. Two are yellow flowers and the third looks like pink tips. They should be fully open in a few days to tell me the color.
Vee, You and I had the same idea! I had my post on mums all ready to go when I saw yours...they really are the flowers for fall, aren't they? You know what they say about great minds!! Have a great week :)
Mums are a pretty fall flower and come in so many colours now. Do you plant yours in the ground to keep them going? I used to do this but prefer to have fresh busy plants each fall. Judith
Gorgeous mosaic Vee! I'm seeing mums on a few of the blogs I visit and everylone is getting so much pleasure from them this year! They present a wonderful show of colors - now you've got me looking forward to our Autumn!! LOL. Wishing you a very happy week Vee Shane
They are gorgeous indeed Vee! They add such beautiful color to compliment the fall colors of nature. My fav is the dark rich ruby ones but I love them all. Your photography is quite incredible these days. Nice job!
Mums are so pretty to have on the doorstep. I have a couple of pots out front and one in the back. It's nice to have color as everything is on the wane. Robert Savage had the right idea!
They compliment autumn tree colors perfectly. And they come back faithfully each year here. I buy the "inside" and "outside" one and both are planted outside and do just great.
Vee, I love mums too. I have been meaning to buy a few for my front steps. I'm afraid I am not very good at keeping them healthy though. I think I have too much sunshine.
What do you do with your mums? I've always planted mine, but haven't any place to do so now. For that reason, I haven't bought any this year. I think it's time to move.
Lovely and colorful! Hope you have a nice evening.

It's always so hard to choose colors when I buy these beauties in the nursery-- they're my fall favorites !
