I got these at Kroger's in a 6" pot for 3.99 1/2 price sale, these are really compact. I potted them up in a 12 inch pot/which they seem to like , (?Glad to get out of the little pot roots were coming out of the bottom:) First time for mums in a container for me,, I hope these will bloom thru the fall,, any one else grow mum's in high temp zones??

Here is my Amaryllis, which was an amazement to me!!!

I didn't know anything that big could grow that fast!!!
I watched it all through the days and every three or so hours it was different.
