Druid Hill Park’s 10-foot-tall dragon returns for the 2008 Annual Fall Chrysanthemum Show: Asian Roots. Visitors can check out the colorful dragon, as well as the Asian-inspired garden he resides in, through Sunday at the Howard Peters Rawlings Conservatory and Botanic Gardens of Baltimore.

Ooh and aah over the vibrant golden, burnt-orange and deep red mums that make up the body of the dragon. First cultivated in China as a flowering herb, the chrysanthemum was believed to have the power of life. Nicknamed the “mum,” it’s now known as the queen of fall flowers.
