Chrysanthemum
morifolium, Shevanthi Plant which we are all familiar with , and whose lovely petalled flowers look beautiful and spread a unique pure fragrance.
Shevanti
flowers, beautiful, fragrant, colorful, which we have seen since childhood, the
traditional veni, hair decoration flower garlands made from these pretty yellow
and orange shevanti flowers brings back so many happy memories. You just cannot replace these heavenly fragrant flowers from anything. I do understand roses rule as the king of flowers but in Indian homes we really love these vibrant marigolds of joy!

Winter and
yellow brings cheer, shevanti flowers, bright yellow, orange and reddish shaded
orange look very pretty against the chilly winter nights. Not only do the flowers
glow but also emit a serene natural fragrance. One of God’s wonders the
chrysanthemum flowers are fine detailed work of God. With the colors they are
available in the fine petals laid one over the other and forming a complete
whole heavy laded flowers with beautiful shapely oval leaf petals.
The
chrysanthemums grow in bunches of small buds appearing and as the flowers open
give it a feeling and appearance of a gift bouquet of flowers.
The name Shevanti is very auspicious and means a flower. It is a female name. Girls named with this beautiful name are believed to have a joyful nature and very lucky.
Shevanti flowers have great religious symbolism the orange and yellow flowers are often used as garlands and offerings in pujas and temples. There is no religious function of ritual especially in Hindu religion Indian homes complete without the shevanti flowers and they form a prominent part of all celebrations. Frames and God idols are always decorated with the yellow orange flowers. and Garlands for Frames of Gods have this flower in prominence.

meanwhile the baby fishes are also enjoying the new life in the small glass bowl, born 9th of this month. we lost a few, maybe this is natures way , survival of the fittest, hence fishes lay eggs in large numbers. maybe only the fittest survive. I have not much experience with fish babies but we have a fish tank since past more than a decade so guess gold fishes, guppies, gorami, tiger fish, angel fish and so many have been part of our family.

Shevanti plants require some care, as they attract pests in form of fungus, mites and white flies in winter. Growing the plant in full sun will increase its life. As more pests are attracted with plants grown in shaded areas which receive very little direct sunlight.
The
chrysanthemum plant grows as a bush, and is loaded with flowers. The main care it
requires is to select a proper place for growth. A place where the plant
receives full sunlight is great, but partial sunlight is also good.
We
have lost beautiful colorful unique chrysanthemum plants due to pigeons
and birds plucking and eating off the blooms. I think the flowers are
tasty and especially the new buds. They were so huge when we bought them but suddenly all were feasted upon!
These plants look very good in containers as well as land as borders or central arrangement in garden landscapes.
The flowering plant grows from sides sending off roots along side and baby plants grow in the same pot along side of the parent plant, that may die off after a certain time period.
Requires regular watering and measured watering as root rot is very common as also root fungus on this shevanti plant.
Trimming the plant after flowering helps the plant to grow in shape and flower more.
Usually people buy shevanti chrysanthemum flowers in whole sale flower markets, yellow and orange, by weight, to make at home garlands, venis, decorations during festivals.
This is a great way to add colors in the garden, chilly winters and cheery yellow orange blooms, and enjoy the fragrant blooms!
Wish you a Merry Christmas and a Very Very Happy Prosperous New Year Ahead!
