BRIGHT YELLOW CHRYSANTHEMUM

By Marilyn Armstrong on 09/27/2016 • ( 12 )

And as the frosty nights begin, the chrysanthemums are blooming. Bright and yellow.

The trees aren’t bright yet, but we still have the mums.

I love the mums. They have a colour here that has the yellow and orange. They look like a sun burst. I love the scent of them too.

  Depending on the light, they are sometimes bright yellow, sometime s little bit more orange. But they are always very very bright.

    You know that in France they symbolize death and are brought to cemeteries on all saints day or Halloween here. I prefer our version! 😊

      I believe in Japan that white chrysanthemums are also a flower of mourning. I can see why they would be a good flower for that time of year begin as they are one of the very few flowers still blooming that late. I prefer our version, too.

        White chrysanthemums are my favorite, even though the yellow and orange ones are best for the fall. Enjoy the show in Ogunquint!

        I hope it at peak for us. It’s been a disappointing summer. We could use a really good autumn.

I bought some a while back for the garden, but they are now finished flowering but I hope I can keep them to flower again next years. We can still get them here in the large pots. They really make a wonderful show at the moment.

  They are really very hardy and they will usually come back for a few years. They aren’t true perennials. They don’t keep coming back forever, but you can usually get two, three seasons from them. They are very weather resistant.
