These interesting little mums are a different take on the daisy, and as such I had to include them in a vase for a daisy-themed get-together for my friend JoAnn. I like the way they collectively create such star-shooting movement. The rays of their white petals, the yellow radial form of their central orb, and the linear structure of their stems combine in thrilling fashion to conjure an effect much larger than expected. When dealing with simpler blooms, sometimes less is more. What would be lost as filler in grander schemes manages to steal the show on such a singular stage.
