Mum's the Word

Cooler night temperatures, shorter day lengths, it's the perfect
conditions for mums to start to form their flower buds. We've just
received our first shipment of mums and they're covered with blooms
just starting to open. I usually recommend picking the ones that have
the fewest flowers open. Although mums look pretty in bloom on our
benches, you will get to enjoy all of the flowers at home if you take
them with just buds.
