Nanjing - Xuanwu Lake - Chrysanthemums

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Chrysanthemums!
Chinese Chrysanthemums

Symbol of Autumn and Protector against Evil Spirits 

Well, white and yellow Chrysanthemums are usually used for funerals in the Chinese culture. However, Chrysanthemums are also used for medicinal purposes and of course, for tea. Chrysanthemum wine is drunk on the 9th day of the 9th month for health and old age.


The Chrysanthemum was first cultivated in China in the 15th Century.
