Although its name means "golden flower" in Greek, it also comes in fiery autumn shades of red, orange, and bronze. It represents longevity and perfection. During the Chrysanthemum War in 1357, the Japanese wore this flower as an emblem of courage. Today, the Order of the Chrysanthemum ranks as the highest honor Japan can bestow. If you know someone about to embark on a tricky challenge give a potted chrysanthemum to embolden the heart. The Chinese say that if you drink from a stream bordered by chrysanthemum blooms, you will live for a hundred years. Chrysanthemum imagery appears frequently in temples. Consider decorating your altar with a chrysanthemum. |
