The Texas tradition has become a teenage rite of passage and a kind of folk art, too.

How Much Do Homecoming Mums Cost?
Corpus Christi resident Rachel Ritualo posted a video on TikTok showing just how expensive mums are.
One of the mums was nearly $500, while most fell between $200 and $300.
Another cost $20, showing how some choose to make their own using more affordable materials.
The more elaborate, typically the more expensive!
