Chinese New Year flowers

Every year, before Chinese New Year, my parents would acquire water narcissus, plum blossoms, and push willows for our families. A Chinese New Year wish, 花開富貴, carries the meaning of wealth coming as flowers bloom. I especially love the water narcissus and plum blossoms. Water narcissus gives me a feeling of purity, and its fragrant is dazzling. I like the plum blossom for its color and beauty; and its branches, to me, is a symbol of strength.
