Chrysanthemums - beauty, tradition and elegance
Chrysanthemums are one of the most admired flowers in the world. Their magnificent flowers in colourful shades have enchanted us for centuries. They are often called November flowers because they bloom in autumn, when most other plants are resting. In many cultures they are a symbol of friendship, joy and eternity.
In Japan, chrysanthemums have such a strong meaning that they have become the emblem of the imperial family and are considered a symbol of nobility and long life. In China, on the other hand, they are believed to bring happiness and positive energy into the home.
Chrysanthemums in bouquets - not only for All Souls Day
Although chrysanthemums are often associated with All Souls Day, their use in flower arrangements is much wider. Both small and large flowers give bouquets a rich and fluffy look, which is why florists like to combine them with other flowers. They are the perfect choice for holiday ties, thank you cards, birthdays or just for fun.
With a wide range of colours to choose from, from soft pastel tones to bold rich shades that will brighten up any interior. A chrysanthemum bouquet is not only beautiful, but also very durable, so the recipient will enjoy it for a long time.
