Mono Monday....Response

Thinking cap on again this week, which is good, to find a response to Picturemull's post of a Chinese waving, good luck cat. I went for the Chinese influence and tried to find a connection to their culture. This is a red silk chrysanthemum of which I have several in a vase on the stairs....thanks for another interesting challenge...:)

Chrysanthemum
Emblem of joy, the Chrysanthemum is symbol of long life or duration, this flower represents autumn, one of the four seasons in the same way as the plum flower, the peony and the lotus flower.

Thanks so much for the comments and stars x
