First Buds appear on my Chrysanthemum Plants, said Princess Haiku
These photos were taken last week and now all of my 18 tall plants have clearly defined buds on them. I can't wait to discover their colors!
Dear Princess, Thank you for the visit and for your most kind comments. It has been a good long time. I do not get here as often as I should but than may change soon. Google rocks. Smile! Glad to see the green thumb. It is a pleasure indeed to nuture and grow from seed, sprouts and as if by magic one day share the face of the earth with a flower from one's own hand and care. As ever be well, my dear friend, Stephen Craig Rowe
The hint of white was prematurely announced and perhaps projection on my part. I closely examined the bud today from all angles and it refuses to disclose its color spectrum. It would be wonderful if it were white but there are about six possibilities.

oh this is exciting! how they've grown!
Well worth the long wait, it is all very exciting.
Wordcrafter- can see a hint of white inside one of the buds.
