Chrysanthemum (mums) are the traditional fall flower and a garden staple. Often called the \u201cQueen of Fall Flowers,\u201d it\u2019s also one of the most popular additions to a bouquet year-round thanks to its extravagant blooms available in many colors, shapes and sizes. November\u2019s other birth flower, the peony, is considered the \u201cKing of Flowers\u201d and is not commonly considered a fall flower, but as you\u2019ll see it totally fits the season with its sensational scent and delicate petals.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\"    src=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Inside-Blog-horizontal-graphics-size-Word-Press-6.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11077\" style=\"width:768px;height:512px\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Header2\"><strong>What are the uses of chrysanthemum?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Native to eastern Asia where they were cultivated as an herb, mums are now grown around the world. The word, \u201cchrysanthemum,\u201d comes&nbsp;from the Greek prefix&nbsp;<em>chrys-<\/em>&nbsp;meaning gold (although they now come in purple, red, blue, white and more) and&nbsp;<em>-anthemion<\/em>,&nbsp;meaning flower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mums can be traced back to 15<sup>th<\/sup> century China where they were mentioned in writings and depicted in artwork. They are a member of the <em>Asteraceae&nbsp;<\/em>family, which also includes sunflowers and daisies. They are so important in China they\u2019ve even named a city after them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Header3\"><strong>What do chrysanthemum flowers symbolize?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Chrysanthemums symbolize friendship, joy, happiness and honor. Since mums come in so many colors, their meaning can be further broken down. Red symbolizes love, yellow unrequited love, white purity and innocence, purple means get well soon and orange represents optimism.&nbsp; Interestingly, mums are also the flower for the 13<sup>th<\/sup> wedding anniversary. Individuals born in November are considered to embody loyalty and true friendship. A potted mum is an appropriate gift for men or women and can be planted in the ground and cherished for years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\"    src=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/peonies-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"November birth flowers peonies\" class=\"wp-image-8026\" style=\"width:768px;height:512px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/peonies-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/peonies-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/peonies-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/peonies.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Header4\"><strong>What are the uses of peonies?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The scientific name of this large eye-catching flower is <em>Paeonia officinalis<\/em>, named after Paeon, the physician of the Greek gods. According to mythology, Paeon was a student of Asclepius, the god of medicine. When Asclepius tried to kill Paeon out of jealousy, Zeus intervened and turned Paeon into a peony to save his life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like chrysanthemum, it too was popularly cultivated in China. It does, however, naturally grow in America and Europe as well. For a long time, peonies were so treasured their use was restricted to emperors only. It is a gorgeous ornamental plant that can live up to 100 years and also makes a showy addition to bouquets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Header5\"><strong>What do peonies symbolize?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like many other flowers, peonies can represent many different qualities with the most common being honor, compassion, happiness and good fortune. Each color of the peony also carries its own meaning. Purple shows support and encouragement, yellow new beginnings and pink means love at first sight or romance, making it an ideal gift for anniversaries. In fact they\u2019re the flower for the 12<sup>th<\/sup> wedding anniversary, but don\u2019t use white peonies unless you\u2019re trying to say, \u201cI\u2019m sorry!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Header6\"><strong>List of birth months and flowers<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-2 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Plan ahead with a meaningful bouquet for friends and family this year using the following guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>January: <a aria-label=\"Carnation and Snowdrop (opens in a new tab)\" class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/health-and-wellness\/januarys-birth-flowers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Carnation and Snowdrop<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>February: <a aria-label=\"Violet and Primrose (opens in a new tab)\" class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/health-and-wellness\/februarys-birth-flowers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Violet and Primrose<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>March: <a aria-label=\"Daffodil and Jonquil (opens in a new tab)\" class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/health-and-wellness\/march-birth-flowers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Daffodil and Jonquil<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>April: <a aria-label=\"Daisy and Sweet Pea (opens in a new tab)\" class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/health-and-wellness\/april-birth-flowers-daisy-sweet-pea\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Daisy and Sweet Pea<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>May: <a aria-label=\"Lily of the Valley and Hawthorn (opens in a new tab)\" class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/health-and-wellness\/may-birth-flowers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lily of the Valley and Hawthorn<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>June: <a aria-label=\"Rose and Honeysuckle (opens in a new tab)\" class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/health-and-wellness\/june-rose-honeysuckle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rose and Honeysuckle<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>July: <a aria-label=\"Larkspur and Water Lily (opens in a new tab)\" class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/health-and-wellness\/julys-birth-flowers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Larkspur and Water Lily<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>August: <a aria-label=\"Gladiolus and Poppy (opens in a new tab)\" class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/health-and-wellness\/august-flowers-gladiolus-poppy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gladiolus and Poppy<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>September: <a aria-label=\"Aster and Morning Glory (opens in a new tab)\" class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/health-and-wellness\/facts-about-septembers-birth-flowers-aster-and-morning-glory\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Aster and Morning Glory<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>October: <a aria-label=\"Marigold and Cosmos (opens in a new tab)\" class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/health-and-wellness\/october-birth-flowers-marigold-cosmos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Marigold and Cosmos<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>November: <a aria-label=\"Chrysanthemum and Peony (opens in a new tab)\" class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/health-and-wellness\/november-birth-flowers-chrysanthemum-peony\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chrysanthemum and Peony<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>December: <a aria-label=\"Narcissus and Holly (opens in a new tab)\" class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/health-and-wellness\/december-birth-flowers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Narcissus and Holly<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>For thousands of years flowers have been used to express feelings, complement a garden, heal various health conditions, or add fragrance to the air.
