It’s Mother’s Day here in Australia and New Zealand! Wishing all the mums, Grandmums, Aunties, Dads being Mum too, and anyone else who is ‘Mum’ a very special day.
I’m not sure when Chrysanthemums became ‘the’ Mother’s Day flower, but it does a spectacular job and is flowering quite prolifically here at just the right time. There’s also the ‘mum’ in its name so all In all it’s a pretty good choice.
They’re very easy to display in a vase, I pretty much just plonk them in and shove a few things around them (the lazy florist method) and generally get a good show. They also photograph very well.
So if you’ve got some ‘mums’ in the garden, go out and grab yourself some to enjoy inside.
Happy Mother’s Day!
Til next time!
