Chrysanthemum

 Wow, no wonder that they call them Mums....I had to look up the spelling on that one.When I was in high school it was tradition that a boy bought his girlfriend a mum for homecoming. The mum was a big white snowball mum and the blue letter H (for Hubbard High School) was placed in the middle with blue and white streamer ribbons hanging down.  Since I was in marching band, I wore the mum proudly on my uniform jacket. Thanks to Jim Slifko (now deceased) for those mums. One of my wonderful memories of my high school years.
