What a couple of weeks will do....

I love how this red mum is showing it's colors now...when I bought it, it only had a few buds opened and now it's showin' it's beauty so nicely. In this area some have said that it's possible it will come back each year...while others say they have no luck with mums returning to show off their colors again and again. We'll see...I think I'll plant it in my front garden after the blooms are done and see what happens. Worst case...I end up taking it out of the garden next year shrivelled and brown and composting it.
