Sunshine Gardens and the Chrysanthemums

Hi everyone,
It's the time of year when the Chrysanthemums have been set out at Sunshine Nurseries.  They are located on Carlton Street just over the canal on the Niagara-on-the-Lake side.  We usually are looking for our particular colour or something that appeals to us.

If one looks up and around, though, there is a sea of green - and the panorama below shows part of it.  You won't see them all in bloom like tulips in Holland.  They get sold before there's too much colour showing.  Each pot has a drip hose to ensure perfect amounts of water and fertilizer.  The trimming and pruning follow the traditional sphere shape so when they are blooming there's a solid mass of colour.
