Morning Eye Candy: NYBG Presents Mum-umental Horticultural Breakthrough

Posted in Photography on April 1 2011, by Plant Talk

They said it couldn’t be done, but through the combined efforts of the Garden’s science and horticultural staffs, we here at Plant Talk are proud to announce that our colleagues have done the impossible: They have bred a true blue chrysanthemum!

Chrysanthemums have been bred for centuries into a rainbow of hues, sizes, and shapes, but not until this April 1 has the world ever seen a blue mum.
