I found a Willy. In a most unusual place. Naylors Hardware Store.
And just to make this thread sort of legal, here is my new Mum

Diane

Hi Diane

I love the mums.... and the Willy is to funny!
Thanks for sharing!

Here's an up close

Have a good nite
Diane

I want those mums! Any idea what kind it is?

me too!
ive never seen mums like that love em

Diane, the Willy is a cutie and those Mums are outstanding!!! I would love to frame them if you wouldn't mind.

Hi Buzylady,

Love the unusual mums and the Willy is just adorable.

Rosie, go right ahead. I've been meaning to do that too. I have a cd of flowers to print. Wanted to take them to Wal-Mart. My neighbor does some machine and puts text on the pic. It is soo neet. I could probly do that but it uses so much ink. Or maybe I have 'so much' pictures. Have you enlarged them? I'd like to to almost poster size of some.
Have Fun
Diane

PattyM, I will look for the tag. Hope it had one. It was the last one I saw at WalMart. Have you noticed I do about all my shopping there? It is all we have, besides Lowe's.
Diane

Diane - that picture is GORGEOUS!!!
What a beautiful thing to wake up to this morning - thank you sooooooooooo much for sharing it with us!!!

The Willy's not 1/2 bad either!!!

Lynne, where do you find your cute animations?

I know - I love her little friends!

Gotta have that mum!

Diane and Patty - I just do google searches for smiley faces and emoticons - don't have any special websites - I just have far tooooo much time on my hands!

Diane - I think you should submit that picture somewhere - it needs to get recognition - even published - it is at the very least, calendar worthy!!!

JUST SPECTACULAR!!!!

Lynne, thanks so much. Funny how simple things turn out great.
Patty, I didn't find a tag for that mum. I'm not really sure if it is hardy. Can't find it on any web site. I could send you a few cuttings if you'd like to try to start one.
Diane

Diane, was it indoors or outdoors at Wal-Mart? If it was indoors, it's probably a florist mum (which is looks like it might be) and not hardy. I have a different one that I'm gonna try to keep inside this winter and see if it will rebloom next year. I think yours is gorgeuos!

UUUUU! Rosie - that's gorgeous!

Thanks, Patty...I have a lot of fun, playing around with framing pretty pictures. I used the free edition of FxFoto for that one. It has a ton of options and after getting familiar with the program, it's really easy to use.

OH WOW! That turned out great. I can't believe that's my pic.
Oh and the mum was in the protected part of outside. Where they put their other plants. So maybe.
Diane

Here's a link to a great site that lists bunches of hardy mum varieties with photos, but that particular one isn't listed.

That is a gorgeous mum!

Alan, Yes I believe it is. Tanager is what there're called. I had to scroll all the way down but it looks like it.
Thanks for the site. I did a search but came up empty.
Diane

It does look like it, doesn't it, except yours has more color in the center. Do they get more color as they age?

I think so. The pic on the web site has some in the back that have more color. I have'nt seen any new blooms on mine yet.
Thanks so much for turning to the site. They have some really nice mums.
