Over here, these are sometimes called the "Football Mums," and in years past - maybe 50, I remember young women wearing a single one of these as a corsage. Fellows would give them to 'their girl' to wear to the Thanksgiving Day football games. Always a favorite, your capture here is just beautiful!
