Today’s Flowers: Chrysanthemum

by Leora

I took a lot of photos of the chrysanthemum in front of my house, as it’s in full bloom.

    Ah the great deep red of Chrysanthemums that arrange themselves so well with their yellow and orange siblings and autumn leaves and berries. Great choice.

    I wish I could have said the same – than I could have that beauty around her.

    PS I’m not quite sure whether they were hips or not – the usually look somewhat different.
