The allure

Of chrysanthemums fondly

  Yup. They were beautiful for about 6 weeks. They don’t do so well in pots I’m finding 🙃

    They don’t tend to last potted, kind of like Easter lilies and poinsettias, they are a short-term decoration. Alas!

      Alas they are. But they sure maximize their short stint of time with beauty in extravagance.

  I know. I love Mums. I find it hard to keep them alive for long in pots though.
