Growing up in Canada mandarins came in boxes, wrapped in green tissue paper. It still astounds me that they also grow in my garden.
We bought a couple of these little chrysanthemums a few years ago and were very disappointed when they died out half-way through summer. But then the next spring up came a bunch of new ones, and again this spring. I think they might be taking over the garden but they do it so prettily I think we'll let them. For awhile.
