Mum's the word at Longwood Gardens


I was amazed at the display of chrysanthemums at Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. Who knew you could make a huge globe full of mums? Who knew there was so much variety? And who thought up bonsai chrysanthemums, which completely fascinated me!

    Amazing floral arrangements. The symmetry of the big yellow dome is especially remarkable.

    Our chrysanthemums are just in bloom now. But they don't look anything like as beautiful as those in your photos Sue. Cheers for the links today.
