Among the most interesting of antique chrysanthemums is a spectacular selection of ‘spider' types with extra long petals, referred to as Saga-giku after the Saga Imperial Villa where they were first grown in the 9th century.

Their most distinctive feature is the way these petals are held. On opening they are pendent but as the flower matures the central petals are held upright so the flower resembles an exploding firework.

There are so many varieties of chrysanthemums today that a system of classification is used to categorize and identify them. The classification is based on the type of florets and their growth pattern.
