Upcoming and Ongoing Events at DCC:

DCC Library News

The Diamondhead Community Church Library maintains a collection of media for all ages that provides the opportunity for studying, learning, and teaching. It is a resource supporting personal and congregational growth in our Christian faith and living so the members and friends of Diamondhead Community Church continue to foster an environment that “seeks to meet the needs of each other.”

Chrysanthemums

Called the “queen of autumn flowers,” Chrysanthemums are often the centerpiece of our fall displays. A member of the Compositae family, which also includes the common field daisy, they were first cultivated in China, and most ancient Chinese pottery depicts Chrysanthemums in the same basic form. Most likely, Japan imported them from China, where they became the symbol of royalty and the “Queen of the East.”

Linnaeus, the founder of plant classification and identification, applied the Greek words chrysos, meaning gold, and ANTHEMON, meaning flower, to a small yellow species in 1783. Still, the name Chrysanthemum was quickly adopted by all members of the species, no matter what color. Robert Fortune, a 19th-century botanist and plant hunter, brought a collection of Chrysanthemums in several different forms to England. English gardeners were not thrilled by the new arrivals, but French gardeners adopted them and propagated the pompom mum. When it is time to remove the mums from your fall display, do not throw your potted mums away. Select an area of your garden that receives at least 6 hours of sunlight daily with a pH of six (6) ideally. Add some well-rotted organic material to a planting hole that will accommodate the mum who has had the faded blooms removed. Do not add fertilizer. In spring, as new shoots appear, side-dress the original plant with 5-10-5 fertilizer or divide it into individual plants using three shoots per plant following the same planting instructions. Mums are one of the easiest plants to propagate, and you will have a beautiful fall display!

THANK YOU to everyone who contributed books for the BOOK EVENT. The response is overwhelming. See you there!

The 2024 BOOK EVENT begins Sunday, November 24, and continues until Sunday, December 22. Shopping hours are Sunday morning before and after the 10:00 AM Church Service, and any day the Church Office is open.

There are current copies of Start HEALTHY Magazine in the library. Start HEALTHY Magazine is filled with wellness and fitness articles and great recipes.
