The Fleur De Lis is a French symbol that has spent several centuries appearing on things with nothing to do with France, which the French have noticed and chosen not to address directly. The mum has been cultivated in Japan for over a thousand years and appears on the imperial seal. The Violet Blue Fleur De Lis Mum is a ceramic wall flower, 5 inches across, hangs on one screw, no water. It is watching all of this with the patience of something that has outlasted every empire that ever borrowed a symbol and called it its own. Violet blue is the color of that patience.
