So many things come to mind when I look at your picture:

Photos with Family with the Chrysanthemum's in the background.

An afghan blanket or quilt made out of Chrysanthemum's.

A wedding dress or flower girl dress.

This has been such an inspiration! 1,000 blooms of chrysanthemums can result in many possibilities!

Good afternoon.  What a great festival.  That is so cool how each bloom is separated to itself and yet part of the plant.  Thanks Roy.  

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.  Mark
