In their beautiful shapes and bright colors, New Year Flowers embody the joyful spirit of Spring Festival. Traditionally, white or yellow narcissus with green leaves and orchids, because of long periods of florescence, are chosen as New Year Flowers for decorating the living room, which are suitable for placing on an antique table to show their elegance. Nowadays, many other kinds of flowers are used for the Lunar New Year in Taiwan, like winter jasmine from Japan, tulips from Holland, western azalea and cyclamen, which are all sumptuous and splendid potted flowers of the highest grade. Other plants such as willow, plum blossom, apricot, and pine or bamboo dyed with silver powders could also be pretty ornaments in the New Year.
