Myth and Legend
Chrysanthemums are known known as Christ's flower, because they came into bloom on the morning of his birth.
The flower is said to protect the wearer against the wrath of the gods. Having it growing in your garden will ward off evil spirits.
For some, it is considered unlucky to have Chrysanthemums in the house. This is doubtless because they are a funeral favourite in some areas of Europe. In Italy, giving Chrysanthemums is the equivalent of saying "I wish you were dead".
