Rain drops on yellow daisy (Chrysanthemum)

               Chrysanthemums, often called 'mums', are a genus (Chrysanthemum) of about 30 species of perennial flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, native to Asia and northeastern Europe.
The species of Chrysanthemum are herbaceous perennial plants growing to 50–150 cm tall, with deeply lobed leaves and large flowerheads, white, yellow or pink in the wild species.
Modern chrysanthemums are much more showy than their wild relatives. The flowers occur in various forms, and can be daisy-like, decorative, pompons or buttons. This genus contains many hybrids and thousands of cultivars developed for horticultural purposes. In addition to the traditional yellow, other colors are available, such as white, purple, and red. 

Chrysanthemum - genere delle Asteraceae, il nome in greco vuol dire fiore d'oro; comprende piante erbacee perenni o annuali, originarie di molte parti del Mondo, dall'Europa alla Cina, alte da 20 cm a oltre 1 m, con numerosi ibridi e varietà coltivati come piante ornamentali in floricoltura e nel giardinaggio.
Le varietà nane di Chrysanthemum chiamate in floricoltura Crisantemi coreani derivati da C.coreanum e C. rubellum hanno numerosi piccoli fiori coloratissimi per vasi fioriti o aiuole
