Bouquet of 25 chrysanthemums

You can give it to a colleague, a friend, or a loved one — the neutral beauty of chrysanthemums suits any age and taste. The branching stems with serrated leaves give the bouquet a natural lightness, while the 25 heads create a sense of abundance without excessive opulence. The arrangement looks great in a tall vase or a wide, low container.

To make cut chrysanthemums last longer, trim the stems at an sharp angle and change the water every two days, removing any leaves that end up in the water.
