Once you get past the asters and beautiful colors of foliage on shrubs and trees and their changing leaves, one of my favorites is this old fashion chrysanthemum. I
think they have split this species off into dendranthemum these days. The gardener that gave me didn't have a name for it. I think it may be something called the Sheffield daisy. If it is not, it is pretty close.
It needs some space and can grow into a bushy three feet by three feet, if given the space and enough water during the hotter summer months. The nice frothy pinkness loaded with bloom is a welcome addition with the blues, purples, and hot pinks of my aster tribe.
And did I mention it is almost the same color as my pink house?
You gotta laugh with these flowers!
