Chrysanthemums
The big mouse brought me back with a big bouquet of the chrysanthemums for the small mouse's 40 and something birthday. What a lovely husband! They are so beautiful. ;)
But he doesn't know Japanese people only place the chrysanthemums on a grave of the deceased... especially white chrysanthemums are symbols of funerals and used for funerals and graves in my country. So we normally don't decorate a table with the chrysanthemums.
However, the chrysanthemum has been cherished in Japan for a long time. In fact, it is a symbol of the Japanese Emperor and the Imperial family. It's a culture difference, isn't it? I don't mind it unless I am in the UK. In fact, I sometimes buy them for table decorations.
