1. The combination of tropical flowers and leaves including ginger leaves, bird of paradise flowers, kumquats, anthuriums and pineapples is the top choice. Kumquats and pineapples symbolize abundance, happiness and prosperity. The red color of the remaining flowers represents joy and wealth. |
2. Another option is to display the sedum plant. Just put it in a pretty pot and you can decorate your Tet dinner table more lively. In Eastern culture, the sedum plant symbolizes longevity (long life), wealth and prosperity. |
3. Rosehips and tulips are not a traditional combination. But rosehips are the beginning of the new year biologically, while tulips add a soft, gentle touch to the overall look. This combination helps you express your own "personality". |
4. A vase of daffodils with buds or blooming flowers is also very popular during Tet. The meaning of this flower symbolizes prosperity and luck. |
5. The dominant red color of the cockscomb symbolizes prosperity and strong health. Eastern people believe that cockscomb has the ability to ward off evil spirits. In addition, the word rooster (鸡) rhymes with the word luck (吉) in Chinese, so many people like to display cockscomb on New Year's Day. |
