Chrysanthemum



The mums are in the bloom. We got these 3 years ago in the fall. I divide them in the spring and keep trimming them to avoid them from being leggy.

Last year, the winter rain destroyed the flowers. So, this year they are under a tree.
The nasturtium is still blooming orange flowers in the background and has climbed up the tree.

The mums make good cut flowers as they last for very long in the flower pots.
The slugs don't like to hang around these plants.
