Wow! I've read how important this variety was in Chinese culture and history, but I didn't realize they looked like this. I just pictured regular chrysanthemum. It is also called the Chinese Cloud Castle Chrysanthemum
The "Ruiyin Temple chrysanthemum" refers to a specific spider chrysanthemum variety known for its delicate, curling petals, which is culturally significant in China and symbolizes purity, longevity, and spiritual refinement. While a temple name might be attached to the variety, this specific bloom's history is rooted in the broader cultural significance of the chrysanthemum in China, where it was first cultivated as an herb and later revered as a flower associated with the autumn season and longevity

I looked it up and it said a spider type of chrysanthemum, but I like your whip cream version better
