Chinese New Year
Chinese all over the world will be celebrating the Chinese New Year next Wednesday, 9 Feb. Yesterday, I went with my wife and sister-in-law to Chinatown. The place was awashed with red and gold. Though it was in the afternoon of a working day, the place was buzzing with shoppers.
To celebrate the Chinese New Year, many Chinese like to decorate their homes with auspicious plants. This is one of them, unfortunately, I do not know the name of this plant. |

Re: Chinese New Year
That's bamboo, isn't it?
Interesting shot. Like the repeating pattern.

Re: Chinese New Year
Pretty picture. The ribbons give some nice splashes of color.

Re: Chinese New Year
What great shapes. Looks like some sort of bamboo - but I wouldn't bet my house on it.

Re: Chinese New Year
Appreciate the encouragement.
Here's another plant, I love the colour and shape of the fruit. Again, I don't know what plant it is. |
