Brookside Gardens - Chrysanthemums

Brookside Gardens - Chrysanthemums

 

Those who follow my blogs know well that my wife, Dolores, and I love to photograph beautiful flowers.  We are fortunate to have Brookside Gardens in our area in Montgomery County, Maryland.  Brookside Gardens hosts outstanding flower shows that are enjoyed by visitors from around the world.  A benefit for foreign guests is that you do not need to be able to speak English to enjoy flowers and gardens.

The photographs in this post were taken during the Chesapeake Chrysanthemum Society Show at Brookside Gardens.  Many of us wish we had the gardening skills of the individuals that compete in the flower shows.

Thanks Roy.  I never realized that there were so many colors and shapes for chrysanthemums.  They are all beautiful.

They are certainly showy flowers aren't they? Wow - the photos are amazing too. My favorite is also the cream flower at the top.
