Japanese Chrysanthemums were brought to Japan by Buddhist Monks. I found this old picture frame which had a picture of Mary on it. It was calling me to once again join the energy of nature it all it's wonders with the divine mother. These flowers are often called "mums". How the maternal love of mother nature is calling us right now for us to receive and protect her gifts.
