Mums




I transplanted two chyrsanthemums and by mistake broke off a branch.  I trimmed stems and stuck them in water in hopes I can force the buds open.  Never have done this before so don't know if it will work or not.


Here is the plant that gave up the stem I used.

And below is the other one.  The pots are faux ceramic and in fact the orange color had faded so I spray painted them on Saturday with a walnut color.

I like how it turned out.

The mums are to be bronze in color and you can see hints of color showing below.  Not the red in the corner - that's a geranium in the front bed.
