MUMS....also known as Chrysanthemums.

Chrysanthemum- Greek word Chrysos meaning gold-anthemum flower. Native to Asia and Northeastern Europe mums were cultivated in China as a flowering herb root brewed for tea; a remedy for the flu. The Chrysanthemum was first introduced to the United States during colonial times. Three hundred years later its popularity is such that the Mum is considered the "Queen of the fall flowers."
