In the Victorian floral tradition, yellow chrysanthemums represent sadness and love neglected—in stark contrast to their bright, cheerful hues. However, in modern times, this is not really the case. In the United States, yellow flowers, including the yellow chrysanthemum, have replaced the yellow smile emoticon and are commonly understood as symbols of happiness, joy, celebration, as well as high spirits. Yellow chrysanthemums make a good choice for birthday celebrations, congratulatory bouquets, or comforting patients who are recovering.
