The Chrysanthemum is #November’s birth flower, and is a symbol of “cheerfulness in adversity”, and “friendship”. Wearing a Chrysanthemum is said to protect against “divine wrath”, and growing them in your garden will keep evil spirits at bay. Happy new month everyone! #folklore

"Command, this is recon unit five. We're hearing loud noises around us, like tanks. Are there manoevres going on?" "Negative, not that we know of." "Then what can it be?" "Have you made visual contact?" "Negative. Just a grinding in the bushes and trees. It's a #puzzle." #vss365
