“Mums the Word”

Seasons and why I love them….
Fall
As the crisp autumn breeze begins to sweep through, the landscape transforms into a breathtaking canvas of warm hues. The vibrant reds, golds, and ambers of the leaves flutter in the wind, carpeting the ground beneath them. The days grow shorter, and the chill of the season creeps in, but with it come a deep sense of renewal—a peaceful slowing down of the world. This is the time of year when nature sheds its outer layers, preparing for the quiet rest of winter.
As a florist, I enjoy a change in the color palette of the flowers arriving from the flower farms. Deep burgundies, caramels, yellows with a touch of red and yes, purple. I haven’t always loved mums but I am starting to appreciate their beauty. Their blossoms are rich and full, with layers of petals unfolding as they open to their full beauty. Did you know that Mums have always carried a special meaning? Their beauty is tied to the symbolism of the autumn season. To many, they represent the idea of resilience and endurance. Their hardiness speaks of strength and determination, qualities that resonate deeply during the final months of the year.
In some cultures, mums symbolize joy and happiness. Their cheerful colors brighten the gloom of shorter days, offering a sense of hope. To others, they are a symbol of remembrance. Their autumnal bloom is seen as a gesture of honoring the past, of reflecting on what has been and how it has shaped the present. They invite contemplation—a gentle reminder that as the earth prepares for rest, so too should the mind and spirit find peace in the changing rhythms of life.
These flowers, so steadfast in the face of the changing season, reminded me of my own journey. Life can take unexpected turns, but like mums, we too can find the strength to bloom even when the world seem to slow. The mums reminded me that beauty can be found in transitions, that there is grace in letting go.
Have you ever the expression “Mum’s the word”? It means to keep silent or quiet, be silent, do not reveal.
Mums symbolize joy, life, friendship, luck, and rebirth.
It occurred to me that sending someone mums would be a lovely way to say: “Don’t worry, I am here for you.” Or I admire your strength, courage and caring ways”.
A card message could convey your message quietly and silently. It might even be fun to not include your name, but simply send the message. The choice is yours.
