Today’s Flower: Chrysanthemum


My chrysanthemum (or “mum” for short) showed its first bloom last week.

Today’s Flowers is hosted by Luiz Santilli Jr. Thank you, Luiz, for this fun photography meme.

Lovely color! I have only a few straggly mums and they won't bloom for several weeks yet.

These are a beautiful flower.... I grew these a few years ago and they did well until a deep frost wiped them out one year.... my father also grew the large Chrysanthemum's in a glass house and showed them.... he sometimes won. That was over 45 years ago but the memory seemed like yesterday then... :O)

The chrysanthemum are full in Brazil.
Our temperate winter ,allows the emergence of flowers
in several species of spring.

Beautiful!

It is beautiful and it looks like there is much more beauty to come. I love the brightness of late summer blooms.

Mums are the sure sign of fall and I'm always elated when they start showing up for sale in August. This is a beautiful color and I noticed a lot of buds so you should be happy for many days!
Enjoyed your symbolism post above too--is that your watercolor?
Have a lovely week!
