I always have a vase of flowers in the house, usually on the dining table and pick them from the garden. This week at the Growers' Market I noticed some bunches of Chrysanthemums and just had to have them. I had some growing in my previous garden but none here. I have always enjoyed their unusual scent and like the colour of these ones. They were the princely sum of $4.00 (GBP 1.89) and there were enough for a vase on the dining table and a smaller vase in the lounge.
I have been keeping an eye on the Hydrangea Paniculata Sundae Fraise as it has been changing colour and picked three stems yesterday hoping that they dry to a pleasant colour. Not sure, I may have left them a bit late.
