Today was a beautiful Autumn day, said Princess Haiku and the chrysanthemum show was dazzling.
I chatted with some lovely members of the Marin Chrysanthemum Society and they extended a warm welcome. They informed me that in the early summer they sell chrysanthemum seedlings at the farmer's market and that is a good thing to know
Did you know that there are chrysanthemum bonsai trees as well as many types of chrysanthemums?
The intensity and perfection of the flower was as blinding as white light.
Enjoy, said Princess Haiku as she vanished into a dazzle of rare beauty and flowers that evoke the spirit.
When the winter chrysanthemums go,
there's nothing to write about
but radishes.
