Autumn Flowers

 

Autumn Flowers

Autumn is in

full swing here in Mansfield.  Summer flowers are being frosted as we speak on 10-30-18.  By the time you read this, Fall flowers will be a memory.

This image is from Kingwood Center in November of 2007 in the green house.  These flowers will last longer in this setting compared to those outside.  Poinsettias may be next.
