Hagoromo, Royal Silver and St. Tropez – Intermediate Incurve Chrysanthemums

by hankinslawrenceimages | Nov 30, 2011 | Asteraceae Family, Flowers

Intermediate Incurve Chrysanthemums are similar to the Irregular Incurve Mums. The big difference is that blossoms have shorter petals and overall the flowers have a more open center and look than the Irregular Incurve Mums do.

Last year, I posted some photographs of several Hagoromo Intermediate Incurve Chrysanthemums. I photographed more Hagaoromo’s this year, in addition to two other varieties of this wonderful class of mums.

Hagoromo Intermediate Incurve Chrysanthemums. I love the shades of pinks and purples in these mums.

The Royal Silver Intermediate Incurve Chrysanthemums have similar colors to the Hagoromo – with more white. The Hagoromos tended to be more compact than the Royal Silvers I saw.

And finally the St.Tropez Intermediate Incurve Chrysanthemums – with a wonderful combination of maroon and gold colors.

Decorative Chrysanthemums

Decorative Chrysanthemums are another popular category of Exhibition mums identified by the National Chrysanthemum Society. The Decorative Mums have blossoms that appear almost flattened on top. The petals are shorter than many other types of chrysanthemums, and curve inward.

Here are some of the Decorative Chrysanthemums I’ve photographed

The Coral Charm Decorative Mums are one of my favorite varieties. I love the combination of pink, purple and peach shades in these beautiful flowers.

Fireflash Decorative Mums has petals with striking shades of red, orange and yellow on the petals. It’s easy to see where the fire reference in the name came from

Western Bushfire Decorative Mums have striking shades of red and yellow on the petals.

The Jackstraw Decorative Chrysanthemums are the most unusual decorative mums I’ve ever seen. Instead of the smooth edges commonly found on the petals – the petals on the Jackstraw mums have arrow-shaped points at the tips.
