Wow, what a nice dentist office!

Country Girl is also known as Clara Curtis. I used to have that one. Not sure whay happened to it. It's very hardy. My mother used to grow it in northern MI. Multiplies quite a lot too.

I have a mutant that looks similar to Kathy's Rust. I like the "daisy" mums. I had some matchsticks but I don't think they survived, or what did mutated in color.

Next spring I am going to order quite a few from Bluestone and hopefully I'll get some from Jennifer.

A lot of mums don't survive the winters anymore because they are breeding the hardiness out. Such a shame. I guess so many people just toss them after fall that it doesn't matter and they can keep selling them. When I find people who are going to toss them, I tell them to justk give them to me. Sometimes I even give them back the following fall!
