1. Descriptive Essay on White Chrysanthemums #1
This spring, our home garden is adorned with an abundance of blossoms, as if competing to showcase their beauty and welcome spring precisely according to the host's plan. Just after the twenty-sixth and twenty-seventh days of Tet, they eagerly unfolded their first petals under the rosy spring sunlight. Whether it's roses, lilies, daisies, orchids, medicinal herbs – each is beautiful and charming in its way, but my favorite remains the pure white chrysanthemums.
Everyone expects chrysanthemums to be yellow. True. However, is the color of chrysanthemums so simple? No! In our garden, there are white chrysanthemums. They don't just bloom in autumn but throughout the year, displaying their blossoms proudly to the sky and earth. They bloom with a cheerful smile in the early winter, radiantly welcoming the golden morning sun when the sun rises high.
Similar to yellow chrysanthemums, the beauty of white chrysanthemums is equally dazzling, with an added touch of elegant purity surpassing their yellow counterparts. With small, delicate petals and a subtle, lingering fragrance, I prefer them much more than the yellow chrysanthemums. The chrysanthemum clusters grow in abundance, with slender, intertwining stems, as if they are leaning on each other with their slender, willow-like stems.
The leaves grow straight, radiating out like hands. Small, curved leaves are evenly distributed, creating the illusion that the chrysanthemum cluster is spreading out on the ground like a vine. The leaves are green throughout the year, a gentle and soothing green. As for the flowers, they bloom in different months, with each blooming period lasting nearly half a month before the flowers wither.
A few days later, the buds begin to appear. Perhaps, it seems like there are always flowers at the tips of the branches throughout the year. Despite the changing weather, chrysanthemums never forget to bloom, and this doesn't diminish their fragrance. Whenever they bloom, the flowers are round, pure white, confidently arranged around the pistil. And they always attract the lively companionship of bees and butterflies.
White chrysanthemums don't evoke memories of autumn like yellow ones or the feeling of spring like peonies, apricots, and cherries. They are an evergreen species, always beautifying and brightening life. Perhaps, it's this distinct characteristic that makes me love this flower the most.
The white chrysanthemum doesn't remind me of autumn like the yellow one, or spring like apricots and cherries. It's a perennial flower, always adorning life and making it more beautiful and joyful. Perhaps, it's this unique characteristic that makes me love this flower the most.

In our home garden, there are numerous flowers planted as my mom is a plant enthusiast. The small house always brims with delightful fragrances and vibrant colors. Among all the flowers my mom cultivates, my favorite is the chrysanthemum.
The chrysanthemums in my mom's garden come in two colors: white and yellow. The flowers have many petals, and I used to try counting them all, but it was always a chaotic task due to their abundance. The petals are oval and slightly flat, curving and stacking on top of each other in concentric circles like multiple large and small circles.
The stem of the chrysanthemum is a dark green, and it's exceptionally rigid. Every time my mom cuts the flowers, she needs to use scissors. The leaves are also green, growing individually rather than in clusters. They are slightly serrated, resembling bird feathers, and the undersides have a thin layer of slightly sticky fuzz. Mom says chrysanthemums have seeds, but I've never seen them; they must be quite rare.
Every morning, my mom takes scissors and a wicker basket to the garden, cutting the most beautiful chrysanthemum blossoms to arrange them in vases on the altar. I accompany her daily, carrying a watering can to hydrate the plants. Every week, we gather to pick weeds and cultivate the soil to facilitate better breathing for the plants. When the flowers are about to bloom, we spend an entire day using paper to wrap and protect them from insects, preserving their beauty.
I adore the chrysanthemum clusters my mom cultivates. These blossoms make me appreciate gardening and the effort that goes into it even more.

Every Tet, our house is filled with various flowers and fruits to welcome the Lunar New Year. Among the flowers my mom buys, I love the most a pot of large chrysanthemum blooms. This flower not only looks beautiful but also radiates vibrant energy.
My mom purchased this potted plant not long ago, and from the moment it arrived home, I was incredibly impressed by its cute and radiant beauty. The flowers are divided into many large branches, with a rich, thick, and sturdy green stem. On the stem, delicate green leaves grow, extending from the base to the tip of each branch.
Each large flower stem has two or three branches, making the flowerpot look full and even more radiant. The large chrysanthemum blooms differ from ordinary chrysanthemums. Instead of spreading and gradually flattening in the middle of the flower bud, these flowers cluster around a central point, making the blossom gradually larger from the inside out, covering the tiny flower bud like golden tufts of hair.
The small, delicate, bright yellow petals are clustered together, radiating a dazzling brilliance, and each blossom looks like the tousled hair of a young woman. The fully bloomed flowers and the small buds waiting to unfold create a competition to display their beauty, while the gentle fragrance fills the space, providing a delightful sensation.
The bright yellow color of the chrysanthemum, my mom says, is highly suitable for the Tet atmosphere in the family, symbolizing abundance, happiness, freshness, and the fullness of life for a peaceful new year. To make the plant more lively and colorful, I add red Tet decorations to the branches and leaves. The combination of yellow flowers and red decorations makes the potted plant more luxurious, filling the air with the Tet spirit. In the days leading up to Tet, I diligently water the plant to keep it fresh. Mom says the plant must be lively for good luck in the new year.
On New Year's Eve, the last flowers have finally bloomed, and the entire flowerpot is displaying its radiance, as if welcoming a new year. This pot of large chrysanthemum blooms has brought fresh vitality and vibrant colors to our home during the joyful Tet days, shining even more brightly in the spring season. The flower's color embellishes the spring, a time of new life filling all things.
My mom's pot of large chrysanthemum blooms truly exudes a beauty that is both radiant and full of vitality. It has adorned our home during these sacred Tet days. I love the large chrysanthemum blooms very much. I hope that next Tet, our home will have another pot of large chrysanthemum blooms, bringing color and vitality to our family once again.
