Greetings to you, my dear readers, and continue to acquaint you with the research of young naturalists of Masha and Zhenya!

The next morning, Eugene woke up, heard in the next room Masha sings: "quite faded chrysanthemums in the garden..." and I thought, why is she remembered this song. But then it dawned on me that the reason she does it, Oh, a reason!

Yes, of course, today they have alphabet, just the letter "X".

Getting out of bed, he tiptoed out to her and said proudly that he had already guessed what they have today will be discussed.

• Well and what?, - frowning, asked the little girl.
• And what do you know about the chrysanthemum, of course, that's why you this song and sing! Well, isn't it? asked Jeka.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, well done, - praised it Masha and they first went to Breakfast, then walked to a secret Mashkin yard, and then went to the garden to admire these beautiful flowers.
'Well, are you ready to listen to my story? - Masha asked his friend. Seeing him nod, continued:

• Most likely, you have no idea how we came up with the chrysanthemum. It is considered the birthplace of China, Japan, North Africa and southern Europe. But for the first time about it it became known in China, where the flower was grown in ancient times, in the 6th century BC. Much later it appeared in Japan, where it is very poetically called the "Flower of the sun".
• Basically, it is a perennial shrub with flowers of various hues, except blue. Flowers it is also different in shape and size. Some of them have sphere shape with inside concave petals, and the petals are tubular in shape with a small needle at the end.
• They grow not only in the garden but in the greenhouse or home. They require good light but not direct sunlight.
  Actually, the care of the chrysanthemums is very simple. The soil is also fit any, you can add peat, sand and drainage. Even if I forget to water the flower, it will not disappear, will survive for some time.
• They are propagated by cuttings, so, as we can see in this picture.

• Cuttings obtained from shoots that grow from the main stem after his compulsory circumcision, the chrysanthemum Bud. After planting cuttings in about a month, fertilize them with manure or liquid fertilizer.
• Flowers for the summer can be taken in the garden, but as soon as the temperature drops to 10 degrees, they must be entered again in the room, otherwise they will die.
• Chrysanthemums are very good not only in bouquets but also in the garden or in the flowerbeds.
  On this I finish my story, - said Masha, - I hope you like it and you will make a great report. Now let's go for a walk before it gets dark.

And they rushed into the street, enjoying the warm day, gentle sun, a playful breeze.

We'll make our excuses and do something useful.

Thank you, to new meetings!
