Mums and other Flowers

I just love Mums because they bloom in the fall. They come in many colors and come up every year. I really thought that last winter was going to be their doom but they survived and several are already in bloom. The rest are covered with buds and it won't be long now. We planted all flowers that would come up each year so that we wouldn't have to dig up bulbs and try and find a place to store them. Without a basement, it is hard to do. We put in a lot of tulips and hyacinths and they came up first in several colors and then other plants began to bloom. The red sedum was very pretty and is spreading just like I wanted it to. We seem to have one area that is hard to grow flowers but it is doing well there. It is always enjoyable to have some blooming all through the summer. I would like to have more Mums yet and may add a few more.
