yellow chrysanthemum
emits enchanting fragrance
winter’s offering.
Chrysanthemum blooms in winter and spreads the mild, sweet fragrance.
It is a symbol of longevity and nobility in East Asian culture. In Japan, the chrysanthemum is the imperial flower, associated with the Chrysanthemum Throne.
This flower can be concocted as tea.

Book Review: Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid
I flipped the book over in my hands in the centre of the small airport book shop. Although I had heard promising reviews of Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid, I hesitated. The synopsis didn’t compel me - I wasn’t much of a space girly. In high school it made me cringe when my peers would talk about the stars.

They do. Since you are tea lover, let me tell, you can drink dried chrysanthemum tea.
I didn't know these flowers bloomed in winter. They're so beautiful.
