I love the colors I can see...a little pink, more yellow and a lot of white - in the mum with the green leaves. Beautiful! And I love that it is not fully opened...this is just a stage until we see it in its full bloom! Lovely!

Oh, that's a lovely shot!

Oh, lovely! I always gave my mother white chrysanthemums for Mother's Day. We had them on the table when she came to dinner. This year is the first she is no longer with me. Unspeakably sad.

@halcyon49 Halcyon, I'm so sorry to hear this. The first year is the hardest. I always try to remember that my Mom is with me always. Love doesn't die. We carry it forever.

[Margaret Tryon]
