Mums on my front porch for fall.

Mums are a beautiful fall flower. They come in a variety of colors. Yellow, red, orange, and burgundy. The burgundy is my favorite. I love them all but this is my favorite. I have them on my from porch in planters beside my front door. Trying to get in the festive fall season. Even though the temperatures are still in the high 80s and the humidity is up, it is the end of September. Maybe I can help fall weather push through with these blooms. I hope you all have a great rest of the day. Feel free to share your fall favorites below. Favorite blooms, food, memories, whatever you like is great.

I grow a lot of flowers, but have never grown those. My favourites are begonias - here are some of mine

Enjoy and I wish it were the same here. Honeysuckles are almost gone here but a few left on the vine.

@CarolDM There are only a few flowers left, it is a shame to see all the flowers go, but the cold weather is just around the corner.

@LadyDuck I know, that is the thing about flowers, they never last long enough.

@CarolDM They are very pretty. They also get a very soft pink in at times that I like. But not very many of them at a time.

Those are quite striking Carol. I did not know that Mums were fall flowers. Here is a tree I took a photo of outside my Mamas place RIP when I was looking after her. It was to be the last fall for her.

Oh my goodness what a beautiful tree. What a special memory for you, wow. The mums naturally bloom in the spring but many like to force grown them for the fall due to their colors. And they can charge more for them in the fall when not much else is blooming.

@CarolDM I see interesting about the Mums Carol. I am afraid I have never had the chance to garden as of yet.

@Courage7 It can be very time consuming. I try to always buy and plant evergreens and perennials.
