My 3 favourite Chrysanthemums.

And the only 3 I own :p



Lets start from the smallest one. It looks like a daisy and it's almost the size of a daisy. If it wasn't for the very characteristic smell, I would never have thought it is a chrysanthemum.

Look how small it is - this is how I got it a while back in one of those tiny 5 cm pots. If Lidl has them once again, I will get another colour. Super adorable and don't take much space. It doubled up since then and bloomed a lot better and I hope next fall it will be even bigger. But it didn't grow taller than this. Just bushier with more flowers.

This one is slightly bigger. Even though I know the stems can grow quite tall.. up to 70 cm ( that's hoe the mother plant was when I took the cuttings), my one never grew that big. And that's actually good. I prefer them shorter and more compact. The flowers are just a bit bigger then the daisy one, but they look quite typical for the plant. And that colour... love it!

Last but not least the biggest yellow one I just posted yesterday too. Also grew it from cuttings and the stems get pretty long. I have to learn to trim them in the right time to make sure they still bloom, but don't grow so tall. Beautiful, sunny, yellow pompoms.
