it looks like a spider chrysanthemum... but I'm not totally sure.

 

I'm alos guessing a chrysanthemum.

 

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

 

Hi, what about a dahlia, they have some unusual colour combinations....

 

I'll go along with with Chocolate. How tall is the plant?

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.

 

@purpleinopp I did not know that.
