Meaning:
The name chrysanthemum means "golden flower" in Greek. Individual colors have their own meanings: Red symbolizes love, white symbolizes truth, yellow symbolizes slighted love. Snubbed in some countries as a funeral flower, the chrysanthe­mum is the national symbol of Japan , where it signi­fies long life and happiness. 
 
Arranging Tip:
Chrysanthemum flowers are a very long-lasting cut flower and popular for use in arrangements. But they can shorten the vase life ot other flowers and are best used alone. 
 
Other:
Chrysanthemums have thick, coarse stems which one would normally hammer or split. However, these flowers should be cut at a diagonal instead, owing to the large amounts of gas they give off. Change the water frequently to avoid an overabundance of harmful bacteria. A few pieces of horticultural charcoal in the water will help absorb some of the bacteria between water changes. See flower care tip, 26.
