Chrysanthemums collection

Flowers that are celebrated for their beauty and intricate shapes and sizes are always being admired by Garden lovers.One of these flowers  are Chrysanthemums that are adored by everyone ,specially appreciated in our region to that extent that we have an annual Exhibition cum sale fair only for Chrysanthemums.

I have always admired them for long now and planted varieties of them in my garden ,Although this year I was able to grow  two varieties only
                                                       

And here's my collection from last years                                                                                                    

Happy International Flowers day
