This is the only picture I could find that showed the mums I planted last year before the Harvest Party.  See them in the background on the left.  I purchased 3 of them on clearance for $1 each.

THIS is one year later!!!  I took this pic over the weekend.  I couldn’t believe – #1 that they actually came back after winter – #2 That they were actually a beautiful full rounded green bush all summer – #3 Alllll the blooms!!  Mums are my new favorite perennial, low maintenance and full of color.  😉
