The established birth flower for November is the bright and cheery Chrysanthemum, also called “mums,” and blooms in a wide range of sizes and colors, most commonly in pink and white hues, yellow and red.

Chrysanthemums are known to be native to Asia and the northeastern parts of Europe. They get their name from the Greek words “chrysos,” meaning ‘gold,’ and “ánthemon,” signifying ‘flower.’

 

They are part of the daisy family, including asters, zinnias, and coneflowers. Most chrysanthemum varieties bloom during the autumn months, but it is possible to find these flowers blossom most of the year round.

 

As with many flowers, the meaning of chrysanthemums may change based on the blossom's color. For instance, yellow chrysanthemums serve as an acknowledgment of a wounded heart, and you can give them to people who are mourning as a token of support. White chrysanthemums are representative of virtue and honesty.

In China, chrysanthemums are a symbol of stateliness. Many of the country’s poets reference the flower in some of the most famous works from this part of the world. They also signify a sense of life and rebirth and symbolize youth, good luck, happiness, joy, longevity, honor, and respect.
