I have decided to join the blogging craze. I am looking forward to taking a moment to find out a little more about the plants I have been photographing. I hope to explore all aspects of plants, flowers, trees and other garden related topics. Sorry about having to watermark the photos but there are a lot of people using them without permission.

2009 Kiku Show at the New York Botanical Garden
2009 Kiku Show at the New York Botanical Garden
Chrysanthemum ‘Autumn Eyes’
What a difference a week makes. Last Sunday we were attending the Maui Ukulele Show and this Sunday it was the Chrysanthemum Show at the NYBG. This years show seemed a little toned down (what doesn’t these days?) on the decorations but as far as the plants go it was the best ever to me. There seemed to be more different and interesting Chrysanthemums.
The Pillar type mums were fantastic and while they may have had them at previous shows I didn’t remember them being all together and prominent. The large mums were gorgeous as were my favorites the cascades. All in al the show, which I have heard will be the last (not sure), is worth attending.
There was some nice fall color at the garden. When you put that many plants together the tapestry of color you get in the autumn is amazing.

Wow Chris, what an interesting mum. That Kiku is not one I have heard of, but it is stunning.
I would have loved to have been there, too. Absolutely delightful! I hope it won't be the last.
The yellow in the first shot is beautiful. Lovely how they made designs using the flowers :)
