Today’s Flowers: Pink Chrysanthemum
This “volunteer” chrysanthemum (I didn’t plant it; it’s right next to a large, red chrysanthemum bush that I did plant) showed up this autumn in shades of pink and rose. The yellow petaled flower is one of my rudbeckia (black-eyed susan).
ahhhh... mums! they are so colorful this time of year! Yours is a beauty, Leora. I get those "surprises" too in my garden. I blogged them in my older post.
I love the photos from your last few posts. The painting on the inside wall of the sukkah was wonderful, and I love the brightness of the chysanthemum in this photo, especially as the Northeast gets drabber-looking.
I suppose they are happy in my garden! I throw old parts with dried flowers in piles under the bushes - that may help with getting new ones to come up.
My search for the most beautiful pictures on Net has guided me to your pictures. Actually I was expecting a lot in the search. Any way keep the good work onnnnn

I like how the pink is offset by the white... and the last remaining rudbekia.
