I was very surprised to notice that all three of my pots of mums were full of blooms about a week ago. Mums are usually Fall flowers and don't bloom until September or so in our area.
I was happy to see the blooming begin. Both my yellow mum and one of the purple mums are already blooming.
I chose the purple and yellow (gold) for LSU. Geaux Tigers!
Do you have any plants that are blooming at odd times? When do mums bloom in your area?

Very pretty...
Mums won't bloom here until the middle of September.
I keep waiting for my Gladiolas to bloom. It's possible they won't bloom at all this year since I only planted them this spring, but I'm still hoping.

@DaddyEvil Those will be pretty! The last ones I planted didn't come up. The bulbs were old. I hate when I find stuff like that and they are ruined.

@kareng I planted my gladiolas behind Oxalis bulbs in the flower bed. I chose gladiolas that should be a red so dark it is almost black in color.

@moffittjc Will be a nice array of colors. I don't think mums would mail very well but we could do that with lily bulbs. You have orange and I have yellow

@kareng I think we can make that work. It will be a mutual exchange of team colors! haha

@kareng i think coach O gets a pass this year, a lot was lost from last year. Don't get me wrong they we'll be 10-2 but not in the final four is my prediction.

@DocAndersen We will see. I don't get the "inside" scoop anymore but it sounds like what I am hearing is that Brennon (sp?) is going to surprise us all.

@Alexandoy Two of the three really blossomed into huge plants this year. The third one is lagging but it will come around. It was left in a smaller pot and most likely root bound.

I've never seen mums bloom this time of year but maybe the poor plants are as confused this year as we are

We don't have very many flowers around our place. Your mums look like they are loaded with buds!

What kind of flowers are mums? Why are they called mums?
