The Flower Hour #18: Celebrating Lunar New Year
Welcome to the year of the horse!
Meet Beezus and Ramona:
Common Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale)
White Clover (Trifolium repens)
These sisters fit the “Flower Hour” criteria — just! If you look very carefully, to the left of the girls is a clump of Dandelions, and to the right is a patch of white clover.
Two of the most common flowers used in Lunar New Year celebrations are the Peony and the Narcissus:
The Peony symbolises wealth and honour.
The Narcissus symbolises a fresh start and good fortune.
Thank you to Terri for another interesting, fun (and timely) challenge this week. Always for her stunning photography (but today also for a smile!) I urge you to check out her blog post (link): The Flower Hour #18: Celebrating Lunar New Year
’Til next time, y’all…
Gong Xi Fa Cai!
