Chrysanthemum has always been one of my favorite flowers. They are a favorite for my mom and sister too. So of course our garden had to have them and we recently acquired three mums of different colors from the local nursery. Out of the three, the white colored chrysanthemum plant did not have any flowers nor buds when we bought it. Its been put in a new pot and hopefully they produce some new buds when spring arrives.
The below picture is of the traditional yellow one which costed around 25 rupees in the Sunday market. They had three flowers when we bought them and very recently it bloomed another single flower after it was put in the new pot. It still needs some more work to get it acclimated to the new soil.
When I potted it, I was little careless and broke a side shoot from the plant. As per advice from mom, I planted this branch as well nearby the parent plant and it took life. Did not expect to have that quick a propagation from the mums.

Then here is the jackpot of chrysanthemums. Always wanted to own multi colored mums and again Sunday market had the answer to it. This one was purple & white colored and was priced about 50 rupees but I think it was well worth it. And I could see that the plants were in high demand too.
