Oh, thank you, TCP! I did not know they were mums - but the words with the flowers touched my heart, especially at this time.
I remember those giant mums that we used to see so many years ago - but I don’t think I have seen them for a long time.
Hi, My sister-in-law went to Japan once, and took pictures at a mum show. They grew huge mums there. Nothing like the ones I know. I grew a lot of mums, but avoided the daisy mums because the yellow centers attracted various beetles that would eat the petals. I like the daisy mums but they would always get too damaged by the bugs.
cheers
