chrysanthemum
Fall garden flower
A chrysanthemum is a flowering plant with dense, layered petals radiating from a central disk, cultivated in countless varieties and colors.
Native to East Asia, chrysanthemums hold cultural significance in China and Japan, where they symbolize autumn and longevity.
Often shortened to *mum* in casual speech: I picked up some mums for the porch.
