Homecoming Mums - El Paso, Texas

Decorated homecoming mums are a Western – and an El Paso – tradition that grows bigger every year. Probably dating back to the custom of giving a flower corsage to the girl you took to a dance, homecoming mums (no longer real flowers) include decorations that symbolize the interests of the wearer, whether male or female. These mums can be custom ordered from professional makers, or made by the individual with findings from craft and hobby stores.
