"The hardest thing is to be yourself in a world that is trying its best, day n night, to make you like everyone else."

From this weekend's Coleus n Chrysanthemum Flower Show @ NBRI, Lucknow

Did you know....

Chrysanthemums  are "photoperiodic"? 

 i.e., They bloom in response to the shorter days and longer nights experienced (in the Northern Hemispere) in fall......
