Chrysanthemums, sometimes called mums or chrysanths, are flowering plant life of the genus Chrysanthemum in the family Asteraceae. They are native to Asia and northeastern Europe. Most species originate from East Asia and the center of diversity is in China. There are countless horticultural varieties and cultivars. The name "chrysanthemum" is derived from the Ancient Ancient greek language:?????? chrysos (gold) and Aged Greek:??????? anthemon (flower).

Taxonomy

The genus once included more species, but was split several decades ago into several genera, putting the economically important florist's chrysanthemums in the genus Dendranthema. The naming of the genera has been contentious, but a ruling of the International Botanical Our elected representatives in 1999 changed the defining species of the genus to Chrysanthemum indicum, restoring the florist's chrysanthemums to the genus Chrysanthemum.The other species previously within the narrow view of the genus Chrysanthemum are now utilized in the genus Glebionis. The other overal separate from Chrysanthemum include Argyranthemum, Leucanthemopsis, Leucanthemum, Rhodanthemum, and Tanacetum.

Description

Wild Chrysanthemum taxa are herbaceous perennial plants or subshrubs. They have alternately set up leaves divided into leaflets with toothed or occasionally smooth edges. The substance inflorescence is an series of several flower mind, or sometimes a solitary head. The head has a base covered in layers of phyllaries. The simple row of beam florets are white, orange or red; many horticultural specimens have been bred to bear many lanes of ray florets in a great variety of colors. The disc florets of wild taxa are yellowish. The fruit is a ribbed achene. Chrysanthemums, also known as 'mums', are one of the prettiest varieties of perennials that start blooming early in the fall. This is also known as favorite flower for the month of November.

Modern grown chrysanthemums are showier than their wild relatives. The flower heads occur in various forms, and can be daisy-like or decorative, like aigrette or buttons. This genus contains many hybrids and thousands of cultivars developed for horticultural purposes. As well as the traditional yellow, other colors are available, such as white, purple, and red. The most important hybrid is Chrysanthemum x morifolium (syn. C. x grandiflorum), derived mostly from C. indicum, but also involving other species.Over 140 varieties of chrysanthemum have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.

Chrysanthemums are split up into two basic groups, garden hardy and exhibition. Garden hardy moms are new perennials able of wintering in most northern latitudes. Exhibition varieties are not usually as sturdy. Garden hardies are defined by their ability to generate an abundance of small blooms with little if any mechanical assistance, such as staking, and withstanding wind and rain. Exhibition varieties, though, require staking, overwintering in a relatively dry, cool environment, and sometimes digging in night lights.

The exhibition types can be used to create many amazing plant forms, such as large disbudded blooms, spray forms, and many artistically trained forms, such as thousand-bloom, standard (trees), fans, dangling baskets, topiary, bonsai, and cascades.

Chrysanthemum blooms are divided into 10 different bloom forms by the US National Chrysanthemum Culture, Inc., which is in keeping with the international distinction system. The bloom varieties are defined by the way in which the ray and disk florets are arranged. Chrysanthemum blossoms are composed of many individual flowers (florets), each one capable of producing a seeds. The disk florets are in the center of the bloom head, and the ray florets are on the perimeter. The ray florets are believed imperfect flowers, as they only have the female productive organs, while the drive florets are considered perfect flowers, as they own both male and male reproductive organs.

Hydrangea (/ha?'dre?nd?i?/;common labels hydrangea or hortensia) is a genus of 70-75 species of flowering plant life indigenous to southern and eastern Asia (China, Japan, Korea, the Himalayas, and Indonesia) and the Americas. Probably the greatest kinds diversity is within eastern Asia, china notably, Japan, and Korea. Most are shrubs 1 to 3 meters tall, however, many are small trees and shrubs, while others lianas getting up to 30 m (98 feet) by climbing up trees and shrubs. They could be either deciduous or evergreen, although cultivated temperate varieties are deciduous generally.Having been introduced to the Azores, H. macrophylla is currently very common, on Faial particularly, which is known as the "blue island" because of the multitude of hydrangeas present on the island.Life cycleHydrangea plants are produced from planting season to late fall months; they increase in flowerheads (corymbs or panicles) most often at the ends of the stems.

Usually the flowerheads contain two types of flowers: small non-showy blooms in the guts or interior of the flowerhead, and large, showy blossoms with large multi-colored sepals (tepals). These showy blossoms are long in a band often, or to the surface of the tiny flowers. Crops in wild populations have few to none of the showy blossoms typically, while cultivated hydrangeas have been bred and selected to have significantly more of the bigger type flowers.There are two flower arrangements in hydrangeas with Corymb style inflorescens, which include the commonly grown "bigleaf hydrangea"--Hydrangea macrophylla. Mophead blossoms are large round flowerheads resembling pom-poms or, as the name implies, the relative brain of any mop. In contrast, lacecap flowers bear round, flat flowerheads with a center core of subdued, small flowers surrounded by outer rings of larger flowers having showy sepals or tepals.

The blossoms of some rhododendrons and viburnums can seem, at first glance, comparable to those of some hydrangeas.Colors and ground acidityIn most species the flowers are white, however in some kinds (notably H. macrophylla), can be blue, red, red, light crimson, or dark crimson. In these species the colour is damaged by the occurrence of metal ions which are available or tied up depending upon the soil pH. For H. macrophylla and H. serrata cultivars, the flower color can be dependant on the relative acidity of the soil: an acidic soil (pH below 7), will have available aluminum ions and produce flowers that are blue to purple typically, whereas an alkaline soil (pH above 7) will tie up aluminum ions and lead to pink or red flowers.

This is the effect of a color change of the rose pigments in the presence of aluminium ions which may be taken up into hyperaccumulating crops.[6] Lowering the pH of potting soils or mixes usually does not change the blossom color to blue, because these soils have no aluminum ions. The ability to blue or green a hydrangea is also affected by the cultivar. Some plants are selected for their ability to be blued, while some are bred and selected to be red, pink or white. The flower color of most other Hydrangea species is not influenced by aluminum and can't be changed or shifted. Hydrangeas also have a nickname called 'Change Rose'.
