BEIJING: Hao Hong, 66, has something to boast about this autumn: a towering chrysanthemum that sets her apart from fellow growers in Beijing.

She began taking chrysanthemum-growing classes with her husband four years ago. What started as a pastime has grown into a passion for her, bringing new friends, months of painstaking work and the pleasure of comparing flowers with other growers.

北京：今年秋天，66岁的郝红有一件​​值得骄傲的事情：她种了一株高大的菊花，这使她在北京的菊花种植户中脱颖而出。

四年前，她和丈夫开始一起参加菊花种植课程。起初只是消遣，如今却发展成了她的挚爱，不仅结识了新朋友，也让她投入数月的辛勤耕耘，更让她享受与其他种植者交流切磋的乐趣。
