August 10th, 2013: Spider Mum 'Dusky Queen' (Chrysanthemum morifolium) by mgarr
What a great picture!! This would make a wonderful picture to hang on the wall. I love mums!!
Thank you for your kind comment☺
Would it be Ok if I saved this picture to my computer?
It's yours.
What a cool looking mum! There are so many really great looking mums but I only see the plain ones for sale. I wonder where you can find these that are so beautiful!
Great shot Mgarr! I enjoy so many of your photos!
Thanks, Mgarr.
Take any Chrysanthemum x morifolium and only allow oand ne stem to grow. Pinch off any side shoots. Staking is probably a good idea. Only allow one flower bud to grow pinching off any others and your regular flower should be much bigger.
