Lucky flowers

The lotus

A Buddhist saying perfectly illustrates the miraculous nature of the lotus flower. We can translate it like this: “No mud, no lotus”.

The lotus takes its roots in the mud at the bottom of the pond and emerges a beautiful flower in the sunlight. We therefore understand why it is a perfect metaphor for our personal path to light.

The lotus flower is considered sacred in many Asian cultures . It is attributed properties to promote perfect peace and harmony in our home. By placing a lotus flower, or a water feature such as a koi pond with lotuses, at the entrance of a house, the flower will attract huge amounts of positive chi.

Chrysanthemums

Chrysanthemums, while associated with funeral flowers in our Western cultures, instead symbolize a successful, balanced and effortless life in many Asian countries. They are valuable throughout Asia, especially because of their bright yellow color, which symbolizes the sun and light , and therefore helps attract good luck.

Plum blossoms

Blossoming trees, such as plum, cherry, dogwood, and peach are icons of purity and healing. Often, these branches bloom in cold weather in winter, a testament to their toughness, endurance, and the miraculous nature of their very existence. This is why the plum blossom was also considered to become the emblem of China.

It is also often used for the decorations of the Chinese New Year festivities, because they bring together a positive chi. Not only do they confer good health, but they also attract good fortune in the long run.

Azaleas

These flowers symbolize harmony, happiness and balance. In addition, many cultures attribute to it properties to promote reflection. It is traditional to place them at the entrance of a house, so that you can welcome your guests with good vibes upon their arrival.

Peonies

The peony flower represents wealth and honor. These flowers are also associated with innocence, femininity, charm and peace. Red peonies in particular are used to attract good luck and good fortune. It may therefore be interesting to treat yourself to a bunch of them before filling out your online lottery grid . 

The narcissus

This flower, well known in Greek mythology , is also one of the flowers which symbolizes both wealth and opulence. With her warm hues, heady scent and delicate petals, she is often nicknamed the water fairy. In Chinese culture, the Narcissus is a symbol of good fortune and is therefore ideal when we want to send good luck wishes to our loved ones.

Water lilies

Similar to Narcissus, these pure white flowers give off a sweet scent and are therefore very popular for celebrating the Lunar New Year. Besides their calming scent, water lilies can thrive in shallow water and are often presented in a dish as opposed to a vase, giving them a calming and delicate appearance. They symbolize optimism, rebirth, peace, good fortune and light.

Bamboo

This traditional Chinese plant represents happiness, strength, permanence and good health. Its great resistance also symbolizes tenacity and wealth. Bamboo is said to bring good luck and harmony to a home all year round, making it a popular option for those who wish to pass on messages of good luck, or appeal to their lucky stars before trying their luck.
