Silly Mommy

So one day, mommy and daddy decided to go to Costco. Mommy was walking around when she found this huuuuuge chrysanthemum flower plant for $15. Daddy hadn't seen it yet, so mommy went back to daddy and asked if he could help her take it down. Mommy had told daddy the price and he was expecting a small flower pot, imagine his surprise when he saw this how big this plant was!


Mommy loves chrysanthemum flowers along with tulips, but since tulip bulbs are poisonous to dogs if we dig it up and chew on it, she can only enjoy that in the front yard after she plants it. For the back yard, she got the chrysanthemum plant for all of us to enjoy. Mommy warned me not to pee on it when she got home.

Currently, the plant is in the back yard with lots of room to grow, she put it in the ground. When she took the plant out of the pot, the roots were all out of room. When she put the chrysanthemum plant in the ground, she also seeded a part of our back yard for California poppies! It's in its own little planter thing that is quarantined from the rest of the yard, so in case they have to do any yard work, they won't be breaking California law on removing/picking California Poppies. I've been trying my best to not pee on the plants, but the chrysanthemum plant is so fun to smell. When it was first in the house, I kept going up to it to sniff the flowers. Maybe mommy will learn how to make her own chrysanthemum tea (one of her favorites next to chamomile tea, she's not much of a caffeine drinker)!
