The Mums in front of my house.....

Over the last 2-3 years, this plant has lost a lot of color in the flowers.  We have had far less than normal rain this year, and because I had another incapacitating surgery  I have not been able to water it much.
   Well...... this plant has come back with amazing color just as it had 7 years ago when I moved into my house.  I think the plant is happy to have survived and is letting me know all is well!
