Chrysanthemums, often called mums, are a genus of about 30 species of perennial flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, native to Asia and northeastern Europe
Chrysanthemums were first cultivated in China as a flowering herb as far back as the 15th century BC. An ancient Chinese city was named Ju-Xian, meaning "chrysanthemum city". The plant is particularly significant during the Double Ninth Festival. The flower was introduced into Japan probably in the 8th century AD, and the Emperor adopted the flower as his official seal. There is a "Festival of Happiness" in Japan that celebrates the flower.
The flower was brought to Europe in the 17th century. Linnaeus named it from the Greek word chrysous, "golden"(the colour of the original flowers), and -anthemon, meaning flower.
Pyrethrum is economically important as a natural source of insecticide. The flowers are pulverized, and the active components called pyrethrins, contained in the seed cases, are extracted and sold in the form of an oleoresin. This is applied as a suspension in water or oil, or as a powder. Pyrethrins attack the nervous systems of all insects, and inhibit female mosquitoes from biting. When not present in amounts fatal to insects, they still appear to have an insect repellent effect.
Yellow or white chrysanthemum flowers are boiled to make a sweet drink in some parts of Asia. The resulting beverage is known simply as "chrysanthemum tea". Chrysanthemum tea has many medicinal uses, including an aid in recovery from influenza. (Wikipedia)

Hi Selahattin,
The usual perfect PP work and an artistic presentation.
Wonderful colors - fantastic pink tones!
A nice gift to our friend Dennis - he deserves this gift because he's doing very well in his photography!
A very neat presentation enclosed in an elegant frame.
Well done and regards,

hello selahattin,
hard to imagine that these chrysanthemums are the source of pyrethrins. Wonderful deep purples, the flower's symmetry is enhanced by the good sharpness. well done, regards

Hi Selahattin,
Very original work, your placement of the flowers is wonderful. Great focus and exposure too, you really are talented - Especially to get no visible cropping marks, you must have the hands of a surgeon! :). Bravo.

TFS,
Scott.

These three-dimensional-looking images are your forte:) The way the flowers spill out of the background is especially beautiful here, and the light enhances the lovely lavender color nicely. Clear details in the featured blossom, good DOF and composition, attractive presentation. Well done.
