Seasonal Flower Alliance

It’s November.  I’m not really sure how that happened so fast, but here it is already.  November means mums to me.  Ever since I rediscovered these amazing plants, a couple years ago, I’ve become a little obsessed.  I’ve added dozens of new varieties to my garden and over the last few days been knee deep in trying to capture the beauty of these blooms for the Floret book.   It is has been fun to see others with newfound appreciation for chrysanthemums sharing their bounty as part of the Seasonal Flower Alliance.

The first of the #heirloommums are in bloom. This one is Peter Magnus. They came as starter plugs from #kingsmums and I can't believe how easy they are to grow. We have dropped down into the 30s and they are unphased. In 7b. #seasonalfloweralliance #ncgrownblooms #fallflowers

November bouquet – the weeks are flying by! Eucalyptus foliage, chrysanths, dahlias, nerines, ammi visnaga – it's great to have such rich colour so late in the year. #SeasonalFlowerAlliance #seasonalflowers #britishflowers #flowerfarm #northnorfolk #cutflowers
