Mixed Chrysanthemums, Various Colours & Types

Chrysanthemums, also known as Mums or Chrysanths are a popular flower to give as a gift to Mum on Mother's Day. The blooms are given as gifts as cut flowers in bouquets or arrangements, or as a potted plant, often held inside a decorated pot or basket.
With a history that dates back to 15th century B.C., chrysanthemum mythology is filled with a multitude of stories and symbolism. Named from the Greek prefix "chrys-" meaning golden (its original colour) and "-anthemion," meaning flower, years of artful cultivation have produced a full range of colours, from white to purple to red. Daisy-like with a typically yellow centre and a decorative pompom, chrysanthemums symbolise optimism and joy. They're the November birth flower, the 13th wedding anniversary flower and the official flower of the city of Chicago. In Japan, there's even a "Festival of Happiness" to celebrate this flower each year.
A symbol of the sun, the Japanese consider the orderly unfolding of the chrysanthemum's petals to represent perfection, and Confucius once suggested they be used as an object of meditation. It's said that a single petal of this celebrated flower placed at the bottom of a wine glass will encourage a long and healthy life.
