Detail of a White Chrysanthemum Bloom

            My florist provides me with some beautiful blooms to fill my house with.  Much was my delight to discover these white and mauve chrysanthemums in his shop.  The humidity that we are currently experiencing this summer won't make these blooms droop, as they are very hardy and long lasting.

Chrysanthemums, what I still call "mums", are also known as "chrysanths" by my mother and many other people.  They are flowering plants of the genus Chrysanthemum in the family Asteraceae.  They are native to Asia and northeastern Europe.  Most species originate from East Asia and the center of diversity is in China.  Countless horticultural varieties and cultivars exist.
