Chrysanthemum Moment
I know that I have enough of everything in the garden; enough statues, enough pathways, enough roses and rhododendrons, plenty of daffodils and hostas... I've seen the look in garden vistor's eyes over the years go from pleasure, to puzzlement, to sympathy, as my horticultural passion has added ever more plants and things to an already over-planted, over-crowded garden. Yet, on days like today, with low clouds, and a cold wind from the north, I know I need more mums!
