Chinese New Year Plants

Flowers such as pussy willow, bamboos and etc. are always associated with Chinese New Year, and with Chinese New Year around the corner, everyone is busy "plant-hunting". So what do people normally "hunt" during this CNY?

1. "Mini-Orange Trees"

I forgot what they called them in chinese but they are some kind of oranges.

A bunch of "mini-oranges", looks like ping pong balls to me=x

2. Pussy Willows/"Mei Hua"

Remember those days when pussy willows are only natural in colour?

Now, it is dyed with variants of colours, from green to pink etc.

Yellow and purple ones.

Pink-dyed pussy willows, most wanted for CNY!

Natural ones =x

3. Bamboo Shoots

Bamboo shoots swirls with red packets decoration =).

Don't really know what is this called, let's assume it is a bamboo shoot...

3. Artifical Flowers

This flowers look really beautiful but there are actually fakes =). Artificial flowers are good, as they don't need much care and last longer.

4. Japan Sakura

Gaining popularity lately, the Japan Sakuras cost "only" RM68 for an imported plant.

Plants are good decorations for Chinese New Year but it requires some care. So think twice before buying them and Happy Plant-Hunting XD.
