Ping Pong Chrysanthemums

Ping-pong chrysanthemum is a small, dense ball on a stem. White, pink, and green are listed, in bunches of 10. It is used in a boutonniere, a compact commercial bouquet, and as an even accent among looser heads. It is not the disbud bread chrysanthemum and not the peony form: the ball is clearly smaller.

The ball travels well if a strap does not flatten it. The green ball is its own color, often used beside white as contrast, not as an unopened stage. On arrival, recut and strip underwater leaves.

Chrysanthemum drinks heavily and clouds the water by the second day, so the water is changed. Vase life is usually longer than ranunculus or calla. Confirm stem length and how even the ball is if a boutonniere or a repeated bouquet needs one size.

Name the color, the bunch count, and the date. Order the three colors as separate lines even if they will be combined in the finished bouquet. If a boutonniere needs one diameter, say so: in a bunch of 10 the balls vary a little, and the more even heads can be picked before packing.
