And that Chrysanthemum is beautiful! I am slowly becoming a convert, having refused to even consider them in my garden in the past. There are so many lovely ones nowadays. Hope it lasts well in your vase for you! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5059858774072695860.post-88145682878134640392017-11-27T20:48:18.767+00:002017-11-27T20:48:18.767+00:00That's a wonderful Chrysanthemum!

If our local garden centers offered plants like that, it'd be worth it to grow them as expensive annuals here but such is not the case - the only mums offered locally are squat, dull little things. Your pineapple sage is doing much better than mine, which landed in the compost bin a month or more ago after the late summer-early fall heat left it looking pitiful.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5059858774072695860.post-4038791932465475982017-11-27T20:13:54.708+00:002017-11-27T20:13:54.708+00:00So do I, the pineapple sage is very much more subd...So do I, the pineapple sage is very much more subdued.
