What! Chrysanthemum weirdness. The only mums I have, in theory, are single apricot mums. I brought a couple of large clumps with me from Hillsborough. Divided them 2 springs ago to spread them around more.

There are four scraggly mums blooming amongst them this year that ain't them but are all rayed like them. A yellow, a red, a white, and a very narrow petaled two-toned, yellow on top and rusty orange on the back side of the petals.

Self-sown seedlings of the apricot mums? Never had them self-sow before that I know of and the bed these are in is heavy clay and not a particularly friendly environment for seed germination., but I really can't think of any other explanation.
