Kiku—The Chrysanthemum Festival

Last week I showed you some nice chrysanthemums—
pretty much what you'd expect to find this time of year.
But then I visited the New York Botanical Garden
to see their spectacular chrysanthemum festival . . .  

with blooms arranged in the shape of bridges,
bonsai, and waterfalls.  On the left is an
example of ozukuri:  A single plant is trained to 
produce hundreds of flowers in a huge dome-shaped 
display. (This one was started a year ago.)
