Mum's the word!
Well, it was very quiet in the Conservatory during my visit this afternoon. The staff tend to ignore you anyway and no one bothered me as I was clicking away taking these pictures of the current fall flower show.
According to the Conservatory's Facebook page, there are over 100 varieties of mums at the show. Here are a few examples I photographed.
I really must read up on the history of chrysanthemums being hybridized over the centuries in China. The flowers just remind me of a bad tasting tea!
So....bring yer mum to see the mums!
