Did you know that Chrysanthemums have only existed in the Western world since the 17th century? But look East…
In Japan, the Emperor’s seal is a stylized Chrysanthemum, and in China, Chrysanthemums are so much a part of the culture that an entire city is named Chu-Hsien: Chrysanthemum City!
FTD is also anxious to remind you that Chrysanthemums are the official Australian flower of Mother’s Day, because of their nickname: Mums.
