I'm a mummy!

I've just taken delivery of 30 baby Chrysanthemum plants. At last I've taken the plunge and I'm hoping for some beauties for Christmas

Crikey 30!! That must have been a very long labour Auntie xx

[Florence Fennel]

It was very labour intensive sweetie putting them all in their cradles!

[Pumpkin Becki]

You'll be up all night feeding them all too

[lettucegrow!]

Many congratulations! Hope they thrive in your loving care. X

I'm hoping to get lots of advice about how to nurture some of them to the big blooms I remember being brought from my Uncle's allotment in the winter time. The smell in the stayput last night was just as I remember it. Now I need some advice about whether they should be in there, or outside until it gets cold!

Oh how lovely!!!!!

I'm really allergic to them ( sneeze/itch etc) but I do see how beautiful they are...what type have you bought?????

I used to pass a house on the way to our last lottie and his/her garden used to be full of chrysanthemums...wasn't till I saw his/her blloms that I realised how pretty some of them are!

Some are spray Nicos and some are the incurled ones. My sister thinks I'm crazy, she says they are funeral flowers. When I showed my youngest granddaughter she said "but Nanny, you can't eat those".
