In this KHOU 11+ special, we explore the fascinating world of homecoming mums, which is as vibrant as the people who create and wear them.
"I spent about a summer digging into old newspapers from not just from across Texas, but across the country," Schultz explained."What was interesting to me was to go all the way back. So I took some I took different tracks. I looked at the start of football in America."
"Then what started happening is the DIY movement as we know it. The very beginning of the DIY movement really started happening when large retail box stores started popping up," said Schultz."Well, guess where they started? In Texas. Michael's was founded in Texas in the '70s, then Hobby Lobby's headquarters is in Oklahoma City. So the supply chain of artificial flowers basically started in North Texas.""I think that's a real call to action for Texans.
"I think it's a good Texas tradition, like especially for seniors to have bigger mums to express their seniority and stuff," junior Camille Corrence weighed in."I think it's just to show the Texas tradition." "It's something different," she said."Everyone looks excited because it's customized. You get to walk around with something that only you have.""It's just a fun time for all of us. We as staff, we love it. We love to see the kids engaging in the school," Adedipe said."We have a diverse population and it's good to see kids who are not from Texas, who are not from the United States getting into it and putting their flavor into the mums.
"We have everything from bears to ribbons to chains and Garlands, finished mums and finished garters, flowers, all sorts of stuff," listed off Heather Martin, who oversaw the mum room. "I tell people, even in class, there's no homecoming police. There's no mum police. So you make it however you want to make it and it will be the personalized, amazing creation that you put together," Martin said."Whatever you come up with, it will be beautiful and wonderful and you will learn a lot in the process."
"'Oh, goodness. Can we just pay someone? Can I just write a check? Can I just give you money, please? I'm not doing this. I don't want to do this. This is the dumbest thing I've ever seen in my life,'" Deilia remembered thinking. "I wanted to do something with my daughter because I only have two years left with her before she goes to college.
