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.

Hardy Chrysanthemum
Hardy Chrysanthemum
Chrysanthemum 'Sheffield'
(kris-AN-the-mum)
Synonym: Dendranthema ‘Hillside Pink Sheffield’
This flower was blooming in the garden yesterday. A real star of the fall garden it is the latest blooming perennial out there (kind of tied with Willowleaf Sunflower, which is still in flower). The Sheffield mums have already gone through several nights of freezing temperatures, a lot of wind and even our little sleet/snow storm.
Today is a travel day as we are flying out to Los Angeles for a few days of rest and relaxation. Hopefully I will be able to keep posting on this site while away from home.
