Birth flower for October 29
Spider chrysanthemum
Meaning: Nobility
Among the classic Japanese chrysanthemum forms, kudamono are the ones whose petals are long thin tubes radiating outward, often ending in a little hook. At chrysanthemum shows, growers rest the quills on a round frame called a wadai so they fall in neat, even curtains. The chrysanthemum is the emblem of Japan's imperial family and the great flower of autumn.
