last month I wanted to get some pics of some of the remaining flowers at work, so people could see a little of what we grow there (lots more during the busy season). now, there aren't any plants there except for some weeds growing in some of the houses and some houseplants in the offices (no growing until late january; starting up for the spring season). we don't grow poinsettias or easter lilies at our site anymore, so the few of us remaining of the original 'core employees' get a seasonal layoff for a few months. we just finished sending off the last of the fall mums.
lonely surviving gerbera daisy (rest for compost pile)
purple fall aster
montauk daisy
yellow chrysanthemum
bay of mums
a few bays of mums in one of the larger houses
mum growing under drip tape
mums/ornamental grass (yes, the grass is too tall)
white mum
smaller house full of pansies. pansies do wonderfully in fall/early winter, but most people don't know enough to buy/use them so they don't sell well this time of year
a very dark purple/almost black pansy/viola; when viewing in person they look almost black

sometimes there are white ones that have a dot of yellow, and in a few flowers the yellow will 'bleed' out into the rest of the flower so you have a light yellow egg-yolk sort of color which is pretty nice. can have some wild patterns in some of the blotched varieties which are nice, too
