Mum's the Word...
There's a popular saying when you want to keep a secret: *Mum's the Word.* It comes from the sound of 'mmmm' humming sound made with a closed mouth. I adore mums. In fact for my wedding I had roses and spider chrysanthemums! Who else likes mums in decor, gardens or in fashion? Photos: Mum Dishes; Spider Mum; Spider Mum Wedding Cake; White chrysanthemum; Mum pillow; Mum hassock and paperweight.

Love 'em! The mum dishes are very modern and chic! What a beautiful shade of green. I would love to have the pillow and hassock. Oh, yes, I do love mums! Beautiful post (as always!).
Blessings!
Hi Janean,
Love all your pretty flowers and yes, your Mums are gorgeous.
Have a happy week
Hugs

Janean, when I lived in the northeast, where mums are annuals, I loved them! They were always the right bit of texture, the perfect punch of color.
Then I moved to the mid-Atlantic states where mums are aggressive perennial weeds that we can never clear from the garden. So now they are the enemy.
Hey Girl,
Nothing like a good mum for fall! They are the last bit of color we get to see in Illinois, before the cold comes. Hope you are having a good day.

Geez, I wrote a comment and it didn't post! Oy.
There isn't a flower that I don't love, but mums are special to me, because my mummy always had mums growing in her flower beds....love the distinct fragrance they have.
Hugs,
I'm with Tennis Girl...the only mums I really like and get excited about are the vast collection of them at the stores or garden centers in the Fall. They are glorious. I have planted them in my garden (more on an impulse) and they fail to impress....
Oh, I adore mums and that green is my favorite! And that pillow with the big mum is darling!
I love mums, too! They do really well around here (Alabama), coming back year after year. I can't imagine fall without mums and the color they bring. I'm also a huge fan of marigolds. You can't beat a low-maintenance flower, IMHO. : ) Melissa
You always include a photo that makes me laugh, and you got me again with the last photo! LOL.
Just beautiful!
Thank you!!
Blessings, andrea

Have a great week!

Love it! We used those exact lime green spider mums at my daughter's wedding last August! Thanks for making me cry again.....(not really!) :D
I LOVE spider mums . . . the white and soft greens . . . oh my goodness . . . they are beautiful and unique flowers. Thanks for sharing them today.
May the Lord bless you my friend.

I love a huge pot of mums by the door in September - they last forever and give me that jolt of colour I need as the summer flowers fade.
I love my mum...............and your post too............so sweet........hugs from me........
Beautiful!! I love them too...but those spider mums are just wonderful.
Mum is definitely the word. Beautiful post as always.
I do like mums! They come in so many pretty colors! I love any flower that falls into the daisy family category. And of course to our Aussie, Brit and Canadian friends, Mum is Mother. :-) So what's not to like?
Liked all your mum's...come say hi :D
Mmmmmm...love Mums. Used some in my front yard when we did our spring planting. Very unusual wedding cake. Love the white pillow with the petals and button. Wondering where you found that image. I would like to make one of those.
Enjoyed the post and reading all the comments, so fun and interesting.
Mums are beautiful, especially the green. My favorite photo today is the pillow, very unusual!
Hope everyone has a wonderful day!
I love that white pillow...it's perfect! I like that mums come up every year and spread. I love dark red the best! ♥
I love the gorgeous green mum! Would love to have some of those in my garden.
I am in love with that pillow... And what a beautiful cake design. I love, love flower more the happyer I am. Mums are to me a low maintenance flower where you could forget they are around unless you have many, many and bright color..
Hi Janean,
Thanks for stopping to say, hello today! Erma Bombeck was a wonderful, talented person - I'm sure she declared that she had indeed used all of her talent when she got to the other side!! And, thank you so much for the nice complements.
I have to admit, I have been a peeker on your blog! What a beautiful and provoking blog you have! I too, love Mums, and mirrors and all the other pretties you post about! Talk about talent, you really do have a knack for putting things together beautifully!
Have a wonderful day!
Blessings,
Barb
Just beautiful! Love Mums, too. Thanks for the visit!
The wedding cake is so "different" with the munms...hmmm.
I love mums...and they last so long in a vase!
Oh, mums remind me of High School. At homecoming football games the boys would buy huge mum corsages with the school colors and ribbons for their dates.
I love love mums...your picks are amazing today my friend...those green mums are my favourite..I love the wee little button ones. xo
Hey beautiful!
I am surprised, i thought i was following your blog. Come follow me too.
I have to say i love your blog and you always leave the sweetest comments. I love all the pictures. So beautiful. That mirror is amazing so my style. I have one in my bathroom but not as pretty i think.
Have a great night my friend.
Love

Love Mums also, especially the bright chartreuse or white spider mums. I use those alot in arrangements they last forever!!
Love those green spider mums! And that wedding cake is stunning. Thanks for stopping by. It really is kind of funny, if I didn't laugh I'd be in hysterical tears. Much prefer laughter :) Kathy
Don't see many mums here in CA. I do love the spider one, it's my favorite.
All stunning images - you chose JUST right! But the last pic was quite tame - hmmm. :-D
I have never really considered Mums before. I do love that pillow, though!
Love the red room!
