Chrysanthemums

My mother back in England used to call them "chrysanths" but here in Canada they're called "mums".... which I always find rather a weird name.... but I love the colours. These beauties are on display at the nursery just around the corner near my house.
I came home with two pots of dark red ones. I just couldn't resist their happy faces.

    Those are lovely. I guess fall is in the air. It's still quite warm here in Florida.

    my very first job was working in a greenhouse potting mums. I hated mums for years because of it but they've grown on me again and now I think they're very pretty, especially when they are fully bloomed. Such a happy flower!

    My mum loves these and has them scattered in the jungle that she calls a garden.

    A few years ago my wife bought a deep red one - but the following year it flowered orange (which she hates), so it was rapidly dug up again...

    My favorite is when they're advertised as "Hardy Mums". Does that mean there are "Weak As Watered Down Milk Mums"?

    I call them chrysanths too, but I have seen them advertised as 'Pot Mums'. These are beauties and yes they are happy flowers.

    Your mum calls them Chrysanths? Well then on this side of the pond, peoples' mums should be called...

    Oh, that's not going to work at all, is it?

    They're lovely flowers.. even if they do signify the end of summer.

    They're so dependable when everything else has decided to stop blooming. Lovely colors in your shots. 13eriales

    Just love "mums". Yours are gorgeous. Thanks for stopping by my blog. No, I don't seem to be at the computer much these days. Too nice outside. Once the cold weather starts, I'll be thinking of posting once again.
    Take care and enjoy the fall.

    On Saturday Astrid came home with enough mums to fill the balcony planet. THIS is the time of year for them! I love them, too!

    Mine that I planted last year are massively large, but the flowers haven't come out yet. I can't wait. Their blooms remind me of Fall.
