Chrysanthemums
In the United States, the chrysanthemum flower is usually regarded as
positive and cheerful. In some other countries, it represents honesty. Some
believe the chrysanthemum brings laughter and happiness to your home.
The genus once included many more species, but was split several
decades ago into several genera; the naming of the genera has been
contentious, but a ruling of the International Code of Botanical
Nomenclature in 1999 resulted in the defining species of the genus
being changed to Chrysanthemum indicum, thereby restoring the
economically important florist's chrysanthemum to the genus
Chrysanthemum. These species were, after the splitting of the
genus but before the ICBN ruling, commonly treated under the genus
name Dendranthema
In the United States, the flower is usually regarded as
positive and cheerful.
In some countries of Europe (e.g., France, Poland, Croatia), in
Korea and in Japan, white chrysanthemums are symbolic of death and
are only used for funerals or on graves - similarly, in China, white
chrysanthemums are symbolic of lamentation and/or grief. In some
other countries, it represents honesty.
I would like to sincerely
thank you for your assistance yesterday with
ordering some flowers for my sister in law in
Ringwood. She has now received the flowers and has
phoned to say how lovely they were. She was
overwhelmed when they arrived and is going to take a
photograph to show me when I next see her.
