Chrysanthemum, November
John says he read that Chrysanthemums are the flower for November. Here, in Greece, all the flower shops have a display of Chrysanthemums for sale. I used to treat myself to a pot but the plant never outlasted the flowers.
Here I have a selection of photos of these temporary Chrysanthemum plants which I have seen recently
The first in a pot at a rest stop outside Tripolis, Peloponnese. The plants in this pot at the door seem to be changed with the season.
The next four are in flower beds outside the Town Hall of Konitsa, Epirus.
A photo of mauve Chrysanthemum in the flower border of the church at Tsepelovo, this one probably comes up each year.
The last photo is of a bunch of Chrysanthemum from my friend Despoina’s garden. These come up year after year. She took cuttings from other friends’ gardens.
