Belgian Mums on Gabriola Island

I have never seen so many perfectly formed Belgium Mums before.  They are a new type of garden chrysanthemum featuring profuse, densely packed blooms in a pleasing globe shape.  Individual plants can have in excess of 600 buds per plant.  They are wonderful autumn bloomers for your entry way.
Geo has bought one for our step.


Note:  The end of fall came and we took the mum out of the pot and transplanted it in our flower garden and covered it with mulch when it got colder. We will see if it will take root there and come back in it's next season.  They are a perennial plant but are grown as annuals because of their wonderful fall blooms.
