Chrysanthemums made my Saturday more beautiful!

What could have been more compelling for me to see the Chrysanthemum buds are blooming?

This small surprise made my Weekend more beautiful. Now my balcony garden looks fulfilling with the deep marron touch of the Chrysanthemums.

Maybe you are wondering, why I'm being silly.

Well, let me explain...

I managed to get rid of hundreds of mealybugs that infected my Chrysanthemum plant for the last couple of months. It almost died, there were fewer leaves, the plant looked lifeless. If you have an idea about mealybugs then you may know how difficult it is to get rid of them. They infect the plant again and again even if we try different measures.

The mini evils!

I lost all hope and thought I have to pull my plant. But after applying soap water for several weeks, picking off the bugs with sticks, finally the plant came to life.

And now the big reveal.

My plant is full of buds, there are almost 15 buds, 6 of them are blooming and the rest are on the way. What an exciting moment!

Do you love Chrysanthemum?

I don't know, why this flower fascinates me. They don't have any fragrance, only blooms for a few months or less during the winter. But they look so good when full blooms, it always made me wonder.

I usually don't pick any to decorate them inside my home. But I wish I could have more flowers so I can have the guts to pick some...hehe...

Isn't it wonderful?

Hope these flower photos added some positive vibes to your day too.
