Fat Geese at a Nearby Garden And Chrysanthemums from Mine..
Histamine reactions often create difficulty eating foods for many people.
I successfully use Isagenix.
The product has milk and I have no problems with it.
It's from New Zealand and doesn't have the additives ours does.

Time to order Kiku starts
New couple owns Kings Mums.
I'm glad they'll be available once again.
I think they need a program ppl can use online to order efficiently.
I can give them the information but not sure they'll have time or resources to do it. They're very busy and may not have enough hands to manage it all. So I hope help will just show up.
Anything can happen.
Call them to order a paper catalogue.
I'll pick
Mine out eventually.
Let the planning begin!!
*** UPDATE Jan 27, 2015
The new owners are having some difficulties getting licenses for selling the patented mums. It seems the organization responsible, (I'm guessing), hasn't been very responsible.
The new owners sent out catalogues thinking they only required an inspection. I am curious about this patent business, who is selling them if the cost is to sell 33,333 cuttings a year? And how will those holding patents make any money if they have such a high policy for sales?
These certain mums are patented cultivars, and the list is not short, of what they will be unable to sell. I wonder if the past owners knew about this or if they grandfathered in or what? But the organization that own the patents I guess require annual sals of 33,333 plants a year. (isn't that an odd number?)
I hope for the sake of these young people that there's a misunderstanding. They have bought Greenhouses and etc and set up a big business only to come so far as to be excluded this way.
It is really a shame.
If you can help, please lend a hand.
These flowers are very important. Thanks..

Beautiful Mums
My first year attempt at growing these specialty mums. I don't think I got the ones I ordered. I bought about 13 starts and very few turned out to be what I ordered. I'm a little iffy on ordering next year, which would be springtime. But I have to say that these mums have potential beyond the job I did this year. They require cultivation more than most flowers I grow. Pruning at a certain time to 6"
Then feeding with osmocote, then feeding with high phosphorus, constant debudding, and not allowing new stems to grow. The goal is one great large flower to a plant.
I admit I don't care if they are giant flowers, they are very beautiful and provide luscious fall color.
Notice the petals curve inward, like a good leader leans into his people.
( It is said in Chinese literature about these flowers, which were emancipated from a lonely form of one flower, a single yellow fall flower, to become just one of thousands cultivated thus far).
The history is very interesting.
"The flowers that we grow originally come from China and have been cultivated as a herb since 1500 BC. Historically, chrysanthemums have been documented as far back as the 8th century AD in Japan.

They're amazing flowers, and the varieties are endless.

This one looks so much like the light shining through a lemon.
Click on this to see the way the flowers petals are translucent.
This is what happens if you don't dis-bud

In fact, it is so important that the Emperor of Japan has a chrysanthemum for his official seal. It is a 16-petal golden disk. The physical throne of the Emperor is called “The Chysanthemum Throne.” The Ming Dynasty of China used the chrysanthemum in their art and lacquer ware."

Primrose, this one was from Doris. I miss her.
But I remember her smile every time I see this primrose.

Copper Gutter Adaptor (Reducer) for Rain Chain Installation
I'm planning on making my own rain chain of clay, the material I work with.
Copper turns a turquoise color as you know, with time and weathered conditions.
I have the perfect glaze, already turquoise..!
