Mum's The Word

Welcome to October. Here in the LipsYard garden, as most plants are calling it a season, our mums are just coming on.

Their full name is Chrysanthemum, which is also their scientific name.

Chrysanthemums come in a wide variety of colors, and can grow to be 2-3 feet high.

Mum is also the word on when and why the White House mysteriously switched postitions on global warming 180 degrees. They even hosted a big international summit on the topic last weekend. Didn't they call that "flip-flopping" when John Kerry made an informed decision?
