Chrysanthemums Reign


Chrysanthemums are truly reminiscent of autumn.

Their showy blooms are quite a sight to behold.

However, their season is short-lived.


Before one knows it, frost comes and turns them brittle.

Because of their short season, this year I had decided to forgo spending money on them for the front yard.

Then came a trip to BJ's warehouse store and one humongous chrysanthemum just about jumped into the shopping cart.

It was so incredibly full and beautiful, that any possibility of refraining from buying it flew off in the autumn wind.

It cost $14.99 and was well worth it! 



So now, it sits regally on the remains of a tree stump throne in the front yard.

Chrysanthemum shelters a little white angel who seems quite content under the new flowering plant.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE COLOR CHRYSANTHEMUM?

Oh Yes, Mums are a Fall favorite, Susan. I'm glad you got yourself a BIG pot of them for your yard. And the color really stands out next your sweet white angel. I don't really have a favorite color - they are all glorious in their Autumn colors. : )

You had to buy it when it called out to you, I agree. But I think it is a small tree, what a big mum.

It's lovely!! My season here is too short so I don't buy them. But my favourite color of them is yellow. I love the scent of them too. 😊 Kit

Make sure that you go to your job early. You might end up hitting traffic and it also gives you an opportunity to talk to the trip.This will help you be on time consistently, which is what most employers look for.bhakti Bhajan
