This is one case where the scientific plant name has become a commonly used name by florists and botanists. Other common names for Chrysanthemums are based on the shortened version ("mums") of the genus name. Thus one will hear "hardy Mums" ("garden Mums"), the focus of this article, versus the less hardy "florist Mums." Chrysanthemum is from the Greek, chrysos (gold) and anthos (flower).
