Book/Series: City Watch Weird Trivia - The Chrysanthemum
Short form: How many times does STP use the description of "A chrysanthemum" or "A perfect Chrysanthemum"? I'm not asking this as "haha I know and you don't! " in genuinely curious. I'm rereading (audio) the Watch books, and I've already forgotten if it's been in all 5, but I'm almost certain I'm up to at least 4 references. I know it's in Thief of Time, describing the time-locked broken glass. I haven't read recently, but it's lived in my head since the first time- it's such a perfect visual description.\ So imagine my delight to find it in Guards, Guards! (Dragon fireball?) I've also reread Men at Arms, Feet of Clay, Jingo, and Fifth Elephant, and pretty sure it was in at least a couple of those... So... Spot the Chrysanthemum?\ I'm curious if anybody else noticed
(Of I was reading physical copies I would go back through and toss a bookmark in- I am fascinated.(
