The Lunar New Year is THE event of the year in the chinese calendar. Prior to the arrival of the big day, many chinese families will be busy with home spring cleaning, purchasing of chinese new year goodie items, preparations for the BIG chinese new year eve dinner and not to forget, brighten the house up with lots of chinees new year plants, flowers and decorations.
A visit to the nursery is a MUST for my family as we pick some auspicious chinese new year flowers/plants to welcome in the year. The 4 seasons lime; a chinese new year potted plant sold once a year is a MUST BUY for my family. This signifies abundant luck and wealth.

On top of the 4 seasons lime, there are always many many various interesting flowers and plants on sale just for the Chinese New Year. This year, we bought the carrot plant too. Carrot is known as "cai tou" in chinese. And the chinese phrase "hao cai tou' actually means good start! And since rabbits are so closely linked with carrots (rabbits love carrots), this cute little carrot plant became popular too!
