Prosperity; Success; Good Health; Wealth; Growth; Abundance; Harmony; Peace; and Luck are just afew meaningful and popular words exchanged among friends; relatives and business partners. Flowers and plants are purchased for their auspicious and symbolic meanings and can be place at home, temples, or as gifts for friends and business associates, during Chinese New Year, to wish them well for the New Year.
Today is the first day of the Chinese Lunar New Year for 2012. I visited a local ChineseTemple with my familly to ask for blessing for the year of Dragon and took afew pictures of these Auspicious Container Gardening Plants with my Samsung pda hanphone. The pictures are not very clear but it still tell a thousand words.

Chinese New Year will be kind of wierd without Mandarin Oranges which come in different sizes. During Chinese New Year, greetings are accompanied with a pair of oranges. This is a traditional practice among the Chinese. It symbolises "gold" and all the good wishes for the new year.

Four Seasons Lime Potted Plant |
Four Seasons Lime are potted and are portable so that they can be easily displayed at any suitable places. They are usually decorated with red ribbons, and other decorations to make it look more even more auspicious. The small 1 inch diameter size fruits symbolize gold nuggets. The orange, bright yellow lime and the luscious leaves blend well together. Placing them at the doorway or in the living room is said to bring good luck and wealth for the year.
