Chinese
New Year marks the second New Moon after winter solstice
and will fall on February 18, 2007. (According to the Chinese
calendar, 2007 is the year of the Boar.) YaoFlowers can help
usher in the Chinese New Year with a special gift delivered right to your front
door.
For
Chinese New Year celebrations, it is customary for Chinese
families to have living blooms in the house, which symbolize
rebirth and new growth. Highly prized flowers for the Chinese
New Year are azalea,
peony, and water lily or narcissus.
The Chinese believe
that without flowers, there would be no formation of any fruits,
which, in turn, would negatively impact a family’s fortune.
Therefore, it’s critical to incorporate flowers into your
Chinese New Year decorations.
The
most prominent colors of the Chinese
New Year are red and gold. Red symbolizes happiness, while
gold symbolizes wealth. Prior to the first day of the Chinese
New Year, many families decorate their living rooms with vases
of pretty flowering blossoms, platters of oranges and
tangerines, and a candy tray with eight varieties of dried
sweet fruit.
YaoFlowers has several bouquets of vibrant
red to dress up your home or to send as a gift of good luck
this Chinese New Year:
Chinese
Lanterns: Send a head-turning bouquet containing papery
Chinese Lantern blooms, symbols of happiness and good luck in
Chinese culture. Bright yellow Asiatic lilies and burgundy
foliage accent these lanterns. Lucky Bamboo: According to an ancient Chinese tradition, the lucky
bamboo plant brings happiness, wealth, and longevity: the
ingredients for a happy life. Perfect for work or home, this
gift can create harmony in any environment. Azalea
Bonsai: Many Chinese families will have blooming azaleas in the front entrance of their home during Chinese New Year
where guests first enter the house. This bonsai makes doing so
easy for anyone.
YaoFlowers
has many more plants and flowers to choose from
to create the perfect environment for Chinese New Year. We
wish your friends and family good luck during this New Year,
the Year of the Boar.
