This week we are featuring Green Spider Chrysanthemums. Chrysanthemums originated in China and migrated early in the 8th century AD to Japan. There is a national "festival of happiness" in Japan dedicated to the flower. Today, the Chrysanthemum is cultivated year-round in Holland and South America. The Green Spider Chrysanthemums we are featuring this week are imported from Columbia. We enjoy them because they are a strong cut flower which travels extremely well and has superb keeping qualities. As with many flowers, the best care is using a sharp knife to cut the stems after you prepare a clean vase of warm water with preservative.
Try mixing these in a vase with some clippings from your garden. I know my wife likes to use foliage from our peony bush to a vase of flowers from the store. Enjoy the week with a buch of Green Spider Chrysanthemums!
