Default Will my mums flower again?

Are you really that naive? In logic there is something called false cause.

The flowers would have faded anyway because of the difference in the
conditions under which they were forced to bloom and your home conditions.
They were probably already in a state of decline when you bought the plants.
Like I said, Mums don't normally bloom in the spring anyway.

I got my mums at the garden center, but they had already bloomed when I
bought them. The reason I lost the flowers is because I failed to heed

the
warning on the insecticide that I used to kill the aphid infestation,

which
read, "Do not spray directly on blooms". All of the flowers quickly

turned
brown.

Did you receive your "Mums" as potted gift plants?

Since Chrysanthemums are normally autumn blooming perennials that are

forced
to bloom in the spring as Easter plants, guess when you should expect to

see
them bloom again? Try planting them out in the garden for best results.

Early in the season (mid May) I lost all of the flowers on my

mums.
When i lost the flowers, there were plenty of buds left. Now when I

look
at
it I see only one small bud. It seems the rest of the buds have

vanished.
Since May, the plant has beem vigorously producing new growth, but it

hasn't
flowered at all. I really want it to flower again since I am growing

it
as
an annual. Can I expect it to flower again?

Thanks,
Adam (Iowa City)
