Mums the Word
Conservatory visitors will travel back in time with a re-creation of the indoor mum show that was so popular at the Conservatory in the 1920s. Thousands of the traditional “Queen of Fall” flowers, including spider, quill, daisy, brush, anemone, button and daisy mums, will color the show house in shades of yellow, orange, red, pink, lavender and green. Artistically displayed as cascades, hanging baskets, tree forms and several large bush mums, the flowers will mingle with additional plants.
