Chrysanthemum
I have never been overly fond of chrysanthemums. Vast quantities of tight, homogeneous small blooms...boring!
I occasionally relent, however, when I see an array of them at the grocery store. They are cheerful and resilient, which is helpful when autumnal gloom descends.
But this year, I may have been won over completely because...I have my very own chrysanthemum bush! And I didn't even put it there!
It wasn't there last year, and I don't even remember there being a plant of any kind there last year. But it is so large and well developed that it must have been. Did the birds bring it too?
It certainly has brought a lot of happy insects to the yard: bees, wasps and flies have been buzzing around it for days. I do love to see the happy bees snoogling away in the flowers. When I sniff the blossoms, some of them smell like honey!
