Chinese New Year Flowers

The beauty of agricultural calendars like the lunisolar calendars of India and China is that plants abide by them and keep their appointments year after year. So much so that they bloom perfectly in time to celebrate special occasions!

These Pink Chandeliers, surprisingly firm to the touch despite their petite looks, make an appearance during the Chinese New Year to join the celebrations welcoming the arrival of spring and are known as, well, Chinese New Year Flowers!
