WISHING YOU A HAPPY & PROSPEROUS
CHINESE NEW YEAR 2017,
YEAR OF THE FIRE ROOSTER!
Happy New Year! So much color and beauty in this post. I find the tiny ornamental peppers so bright and cheery!
ReplyDeleteHappy new year to you too! The peppers are auspicious symbols to usher in wealth during our Chinese New Year.
DeleteWow! So many good luck plants for CNY? They look so bright in colour! Can I know what plant is there in the boxes....look like ginger or so....
ReplyDeleteMalar, do you mean picture no. 23? Those are narcissus bulbs.
DeleteCan potted pussy willow grow in our hot weather? Saw it on sale in Ikea but didn't buy. There's also potted sakura in Ikea. They look wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYes, they can. Pussy willows can sprout shoots, green leaves and their elongating catkins is a sign that the flowers are blooming. Potted sakura can be grown here too. Place them in a cool but brightly lit area. The only problem is that they usually don't last longer than a year and will not re-flower again. Just enjoy while it lasts during the CNY period.
DeleteHi I recently bought the hyacinth and I was wondering if I can keep planting it after cny or will it wither once it finished flowering?
ReplyDeleteWe usually buy them as bulbs and let them bloom fully for display during the CNY season. After the flowers have withered off, it is time to discard the plant. They will not rebloom again.
DeleteHappy Chinese New Year! I particularly like the decoratively wrapped ornamental pineapple plants.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for the Chinese New Year wishes, Nic! It's been a really really busy time for me throughout the 15 days of Chinese New Year from 28 Jan to 11 Feb 2017!
DeleteHappy New Year, Kung Hei Fa Choi! Those are lots of colorful flowers for the New Year. I can see lots of hippeastrum bulbs, oh we don't have them here. Once i exchange a few bulbs with Ker Ai Choo. Am glad to be here again.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Chinese New Year wishes, my dear friend! May the year of the fire rooster bring you lots of good luck and good fortune too!!! :)
DeleteAppreciate this post. Let me try it out.
ReplyDeleteHi, can you recommend shop that sell hyacinth and narcissus bulbs which have variety choices with reasonable price in Sg Buloh ? Thank you.
ReplyDeleteYuen Mei, Lot 61 Paling Horticulture, Selangor Green Lane, Sg Buloh. Happy shopping!
