Lost in counting, loads and loads of MUMs recently - their vase life is very long, and their colors will gradually change. Ideally, they should shine in different corners in the garden; however, we have endless rain, rain, and rain....
MUMs are such wonderful flowers - they 'effectively' extend the seasonal interest for the garden.
I shared these two with our neighbors at both sides, together with some cup cakes.
And we have those lovely 'flower balls' on our dining table. The pink one in the middle is my favorite - when the flowers aged, the center parts will turn from pink into cream white, soooo lovely!
This year, I will keep propagate some of them and some new colors. For the current plants, I will leave them where they are, but cover them with a very thick layer of compost for protection. Hopefully, they can come back like their relative, Aster, who are already sending a lot of basal shoots for the next growing season.
