The official flower for November is the Chrysanthemum.
Chrysanthemums were first grown hundreds of years ago in Asia, specifically in China where they were used predominantly as a culinary herb in cooking.
Years later they were grown in Europe where they cultivated for medicinal purposes. The flower was known for for helping to reduce fevers and have anti-inflammatory qualities.
The flower is a member of the daisy family, and comes in various different colours, each with their own unique meaning:
Red- love
White- truth and loyalty
Yellow- unrequited love
(They also comes in purple, pink, bronze and lavender).
In addition to being the November birth flower, they are also the official flower for the 13th Wedding Anniversary.
