Mums are my favorite fall flowers, the last splash of color, in late October.
They are one of the most popular flowers, next only to roses.Most chrysanthemums are in full bloom now and others will open in the next few days, just in time for The Day of Dead on November 1.
In most European countries people bring flowers, mostly chrysanthemums, to the graves of deceased relatives, on this day.

Druga chryzantema ma piękny kolor, ale zdjęcia wszystkie śliczne. W Polsce tych kwiatów jest najwięcej na grobach w dniu Święta Zmarłych. Pozdrawiam
These are beautiful mums and so well photographed too.
what lovely pink :)
I so agree with what you say. I remember in my native country Philippines we only have white and yellow for mums and it is always sold out for All Souls day and All Saints day (Nov 1 and 2) We also have roses there and some flowers but mums is affordable. Just this month I am over crazy with mums I am planting so many that I am seeing next year I have plenty of flowers. I found out in our local nursery all the mums are on sale for a $1 so I bought all the colors I could find ^_^ My mums this week has a different petals. ^_^
More Mums
How very beautiful. In the USA I don't think it's quite as much of a custom to go to graves on Nov 1, but certainly in Mexico it's a big part of the culture to honor the dead then. I love that top image.
