Ben Frazier, program director at the Good Samaritan, has overseen the planting and growth of the mums. Frazier said the plan was for the mums to be in full bloom prior Saturday's sale. Looking on the bright side, he said the delay should mean more bloom time for their new owners. Colors include white, yellow, orange, red, pink and purple.
