Maybe that was the goal. I love chrysanthemums, can't wait for them to appear on the farmers market. We always buy and bring many to the cemetery to celebrate death day on the 1st November.
I like to get a big one to put at my front door along with a pumpkin or two. A good fall decoration. We don't have Day of the Dead traditions here like other cultures do. I guess Halloween has replaced the original intention of the day for us.
Some people are celebrating Halloween as well here but the two things are not the same, are very different. Halloween is a very commercialised, party like celebration. The other is about our loved ones buried. We go to the cemetery, bring flowers and candles, say a prayer, things like that.
Gypsys bring food and drink, music and they have a party, which in my opinion is totally inappropriate.
Each culture has its own way of celebrating.
They had so many chrysanthemums around the stone that it was hard to get close enough to get a good angle of what the words were!
