Photographer's Note
Chrysanthemums are traditionally used in France to honor the dead and therefore flower cemeteries on All Saints' Day. It is the same I believe in other countries, in Italy or in Spain, whereas in Germany we rather use white arums in cemeteries. In Holland, chrysanthemums apparently make up bouquets for weddings and in Japan this flower symbolizes the imperial family.
Friends of TE, perhaps in your reviews could you tell us about the traditions of your countries concerning these flowers?

Bonjour Jean
A colourful collection of late blooming Autumn flowers making a final showy burst of colour before the first frosty days of winter. Good sharpness and framing. Tfs!

Hi Jean,
Bright coloured flowers brighten up the day in autumn darkness. Especially the picture in top is all about bright colours. In Finland flowers don't have much chance to survive in the end of October or early November. There are lots of candles in cemeteries in All Saint's Day and Christmas.

Hello Jean,
I really have no idea what kinds of flowers are associated with All Saints' Day in Sweden. I never bothered much about that, but I appreciate these photos for their brightness and clarity. They're so much nicer than the grinning faces of Halloween pumpkins.
Regards,
Gert

Hello Jean,
We tend to associate white lilies with honouring the dead, though if they are honouring dead soldiers it is red poppies.
I think chrysanthemums are a good choice for their colourful options and their longevity. I love the repeating patterns in your first contribution, whilst the details of the incurved flower, in the second example, are nice and sharp; it might have been useful to crop the top of the flower, which has some slight oe, and concentrate our attention on the beauty of the lower petals.
Have a lovely w/e,
Bev :-)

Hello Jean,
In Flemish Belgium become chrysanthemums placed, as your bottom photo, white, most yellow and purple.
This is a tradition in Flanders
Nice sharp and clear picture.
Very well done, TFS.
Have a nice weekend,
John.

Salut Jean,Même dans mon cas la coutume d'apporter des Christanthèmes au cimetière est très ressentie, hier au supermarché j'ai vu des gens remplir leurs chariots de vases de ces fleurs, évidemment ils avaient beaucoup de morts à faire plaisir. Beau collage et aussi un bon moment pour les fleuristes pour augmenter les recettes après 2 années difficiles. Belle soiree' et merci,Luciano

Salut Jean,
Aussi en Belgique, les tombes des cimetières sont décorées de chrysanthèmes à Toussaint et le Jour des Morts.
Ces fleurs sont associées à la commémoration des morts et ne feraient certainement pas un beau cadeau lors d'un mariage.
Quand j'étais petit, tous les chrysanthèmes en Belgique étaient blancs. Maintenant, ils sont disponibles dans de nombreuses couleurs. Vous pouvez même acheter des pots plus grands avec un mélange de couleurs.
Beau collage coloré à l'occasion de cette fête.
Amitiés, Paul

Hi Jean
I've never heard of All Saints day being celebrated in Australia so sorry - no Australian traditions for you.
This collage is a beautiful one of the flowers - great colour and sharpness.
cheers

Bonjour Jean
Vous êtes doué en répartition photoghraphique verticale car vous avez gardé 'le dessert' pour la fin du montage !
La rigueur de cadrage au milieu et en bas est épatante.
Amitiés

Hello Jean,
All Saint's Day is generally not celebrated here, and there isn't a set kind of flowers that people usually bring to cemeteries. This assortment is very pretty and colorful. I especially like the top photo. Take care!

Bonjour Jean,
On the cemeteries in Poland we use mainly candles but if flowers then chrysanthemums are indeed very typical to bring for tombs.
Great series with these colorful flowers. So suitable for the occasion.
Excellent photos,
M
