I don’t get to see many Quill Chrysanthemums – which means not many photos of them. But every now and then – I find a few that are spectacular. This year – I photographed two varieties of Quill Chrysanthemums – Judith Baker and Saffina.

Quill Chrysanthemums are one of the thirteen classes of chrysanthemums recognized by the National Chrysanthemum Society. They are known for their straight tubular florets with open tips.
