Mum dreams: Chico florist paying 'mum-ories' forward

Wise County schools celebrate their annual homecomings. Decatur, Boyd and Paradise celebrated last week. This week is homecoming in Bridgeport. Next week, Alvord and Northwest are up. Chico’s homecoming is set for Oct. 26 and Burgess, the owner of Chico Florist and Gift Shop, is readying to once again pay forward the memory she holds so dear to the lives of others. Burgess has spent the past 25 years making mums in Chico. Her passion for flowers and arrangements has touched the lives of students for years, with mums hanging on walls and immortalized in photos and memories. “It’s special,” she said. “I’ve seen generations.” Burgess said the mum game has changed over the years. When she was growing up, it was all about the fresh flowers. Now, it’s about silk, ribbons and trinkets. Currently, she’s building mums with fiber optics and lights. Some prefer teddy bears, others rock Dragons on their mums and garters. Burgess routinely goes to seminars to learn about the latest trends. Just like the football game that accompanies them, mums are a big deal in Texas. “I have people that come from other states and ask, ‘what is this mum stuff?'” she said. “It’s a southern thing, a Texas thing I guess.” Mum culture is real, and it varies by region in Texas and Wise County. Burgess said in Chico, students prefer their mums short and sweet. In Bridgeport and Decatur, the style is long and robust. “It really changes by the city,” she said. “In Bridgeport and Decatur, they hit the ground.” Burgess was a teacher at Chico High School for 41 years and taught floral arrangements. “I’ve always picked wildflowers since I was a little girl,” she said. “And I always dreamed of becoming a florist one day.” When the florist in Chico at the time was selling her business, Burgess received a call. Her childhood dream became a reality. She took over the shop with her daughter and began working with flowers and mum...
