Chrysanthemums are unbelievably variable . This simple daisy course shows off the dramatic food color of the petals beautifully .
There is a fascinating combination of colors in this mum . Often we think of mums as just the standard , somewhat ho-hum , cushion mums sold everywhere potted for a dip display , but they are one of the oldest civilize flowers , with an incredibly prospicient history of upbringing and display in Asia . Many varieties can break huge , intricate blooms that are anything but common .

To display the Brobdingnagian , unusual blossom of these spider - form chrysanthemum to their highest potential , each plant is cautiously pruned , each stem is staked , and many of the heyday buds are get rid of so the flowers that do develop grow large and perfect .
These gross white mums offer such a fresh people of colour against the ruddy colors of surrender .
This form is phone incurve , with each petal roll in to make a near ball-shaped bloom .

Narrow , tramp petals give this mammy an airy , unusual spirit .
