chrysanthemum flower 
 

Chrysanthemums cuttings tend to flower when growing in shorter days as the winter approaches. Other varieties burst into a lot of flowers in spring.

 

A wonderful flower you could grow in a garden or pot. Will last for many years and is quite hardy. Would appreciate an annual prune, a few months before it is flowering.

 
Mother's day has seen chrysanthemums become a traditional gift on "mums" day.
