I realized it has been a while since I posted any of my chrysanthemum photos here on my blog – so I thought I’d share photos of several types of chrysanthemums I’ve taken in recent years.
The Brush & Thistle Mums get their name from the way their petals look – they can look like an artist’s brush. On some Brush and Thistle Mums – the petals stand straight up – on others they twist in many directions.

Semi-double Chrysanthemums and Daisy Chrysanthemums look like what most people think of as daisies. They have a center floret surrounded by rows of petals.
