As the most beautiful time of year approaches, people give their homes a warm welcome with a thorough cleaning and bright blooms – ensuring they’re ready to host holiday festivities!
Lunar New Year is a highly anticipated event that marks the arrival of hope and prosperity. With it, our homes become colourful canvases, jam-packed with vibrant blooms – but there’s more than just pretty petals! Each bloom, from Narcissus to tangerine trees, carries deep cultural meaning behind its aromas. Unlock all their secrets this festive season as you scatter these symbolic beauties around your home for some extra luck in wealth & love.
Bamboo
Looking to add an extra dose of luck and fortune in the upcoming year? Bamboo plants are believed to bring good vibes into any space. Not only that, but they’re also easy on your wallet. All you have to do is give it a bit of water and sunlight here and there!
Plus, their more interesting shapes often have added significance – two stalks mean double the luck while five represent overall healthful goodness (steer clear from four as this symbolises “death”). So, if you’re looking for some plant therapy with Chinese flair this new year season, don’t forget about bamboo!
Narcissus
Chinese New Year is all about goodness and fortune. To represent this feeling, why not add a bit of magic to your celebrations by incorporating vibrant Narcissus flowers – known as water fairy or daffodil flowers. Not only do they look beautiful with their pretty petals in full bloom, but they also smell delightful.
They’re relatively easy to grow if you get the correct warm temperatures, so pick some up before inviting friends and family over for those fantastic 15 days during the holiday period – just like looking at a sunny-side-up egg on your plate!
Pussy Willows
Spring is right around the corner, and nothing marks its arrival quite like Pussy willows! These tall, slender plants are traditionally grey or white, but sometimes florists get creative with splashes of colour. They represent growth and incoming prosperity & make an excellent houseplant for all your new beginnings this lunar year – remember to water them every couple of weeks!
Cherry Blossoms
Cherry blossoms constitute new beginnings and renewal of life. Embrace this feeling by taking a stroll through Tai Po Waterfront Park, blanketed in beautiful cherry blossoms (ying fa or y?nghu?, ??). Don’t be fooled; these delicate flowers may appear similar to plum blossoms, but their petals have small split ends that give them away! During late March-mid April, admire natural beauty with family and friends whilst soaking up the atmosphere.
Mandarin or Tangerine Trees
During Chinese New Year, vibrant mandarin or tangerine trees are abundant. These plants/trees are believed to bring good luck and wealth – more so if they bear abundant fruit harvest! Their cheerful orange hues add a zingy atmosphere, making everyone smile wider this season. By placing them near your entranceway, you will invite happy fortune into your home with every entering step.
Conclusion
As you can see, these traditional flowers are popular during Chinese New Year, and each has a special meaning. Whether you’re looking to give someone good luck, prosperity, or beauty, there’s sure to be a flower for you.
