Auspicious Plants For Chinese New Year
By NYL

Bandar Seri Begawan - The range of Chinese New Year plants for the home keeps growing every year. While traditional favourites like kumquat plants and pussy willows will never go out of style, florists and nurseries are always introducing new varieties for those looking for something to impress visitors.

Pussy willows are very popular because they are easy to care for and are fairly inexpensive. With fluffy white blossoms looking like pieces of silver, they symbolise prosperity.

In the past, stalks of blossoms were displayed unadorned but it is now normal for them to be festooned with ornaments like a Christmas tree.

Orginating from Taiwan, lucky bamboo is supposed to usher in good fortune as its name implies.

A few years ago, someone hit upon the idea of coaxing the bamboo to grow in a spiral and was marketed as "turnluck bamboo" for people who wanted to turn their luck around. Bamboo shoots now come in all kinds of shapes with auspicious Chinese names. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
