love a "FUGI Chrysanthemum"

I love a "FUGI Chrysanthemum"... I know that many people call them "Spiders".. but I had an experience once... where I told a customer I was going to use "Spiders" in an arrangement for her Grandmother...

She "Screamed" and said... why would you do that...


 "My Grandma HATES Spiders
Funny, how our "slang" terms for flowers can mean different things to different people... so I prefer... "FUGI Chrysanthemums" 


P.S. This NEW Variety of "Fugi Chrysanthemum" is called "CHISPA"...
it's perfect for Thanksgiving week... don't you agree?!

Carnations under glass... and also under foot...

inlaid into the floor of the booth...
