Description
Red and Yellow Japanese Mum in Full Bloom - By Dora Sofia Caputo
The chrysanthemum was first cultivated in China as a flowering herb and is described in writings as early as the 15th Century B.C. ... So taken were the Japanese with this flower that they adopted a single flowered chrysanthemum as the crest and official seal of the Emperor.
A Swedish botanist named the chrysanthemum from the Greek words chrysos, meaning gold, and anthemon, meaning flower. The etymology carries over from its Asian origin. The word for chrysanthemum in both Chinese and Japanese is equivalent to gold flower.
