    I'd say a mum too but never saw that color combination before. I love it!

    I think it is a dyed spider mum. It looks to be in a bouquet in a vase. Is there any foliage on the stem? otherwise rub your fingers up/down the stem, is it fragrant? not necessarily a pleasant smell, but the smell of a mum, none the less?

    I agree with Carolyn. I think it is a dyed mum in a bouquet. Mums have an odor that is all their own. Unmistakable.

    I too believe this is in the chrysanthemum family.

    Chrysanthemum genus is in Asteraceae family.
