As we mentioned in the article “Say it with flowers… The meaning of chrysanthemum,” chrysanthemum means “golden flower” in ancient Greek and symbolizes joy according to Feng Shui philosophy.

In Feng Shui decoration, chrysanthemums are commonly used, not only because they encourage joy and happiness, but also because these flowers boost life and longevity. That’s why at Verdissimo, we’ve chosen this flower to represent the joy and happiness.
