Flowers for the Lunar New Year…
Today, 9th February 2013, Saturday, was a beautiful day…
Skies were blue… cloudless… windless… so cool and pleasant…
Yes, the white plums are beginning to bloom…
And this one is dedicated to Autumn Belle…
These ‘Sen-ryo’ (Sarcandra glabra) are not from my garden…
Got them as leftovers from an Ikebana class…
Yes, this freshly picked ‘sudachi’ (Citrus sudachi) is from our garden…
We normally use them green, in our cooking…
This chrysanthemum is also part of the leftovers from the Ikebana class…
And my suweeto haato picked this Narcissus up from the hills in one of her walks recently…
Ooh, its fragrance…. so sweet…
Happy Lunar New Year to those of you who celebrate the event…
Your photos make me impatient for spring here in the Midwest–beautiful pictures… I have no fragrance in my yard, just snow, ice, water, puddles and mud! I know it will be here soon…so for now I will enjoy your beautiful photos. Do you have spring now? We are in zone 5 USA Midwest and our last frost date is in April ( but sometimes later)…I hope my little dwarf plum and cherry tree are blooming like your white plum…I can hardly wait! Roberta
Happy Chinese New Year.
Thank you Robbie… wooh, I can imagine the situation at your place now… we are supposed to be having spring now but it is still a bit cold to start the planting… good luck with your plum and cherry blooms…
Thank you for your kind wishes… and likewise to you too…
Beautiful flowers to usher in the Lunar New Year. Thanks for brightening my day. So looking forward to spring.
Greeting from Australia!I love gardening too and wish to learn some great tips from you.Zoe
Happy New Year…. great that it was blue and blue sky over there. Over here Gong Xi Fat Chai is always with drizzle…..
Am happy to hear that you liked the flower pictures…
Hi Zoe… it will be my pleasure to share any ideas I have with you…
The weather over here has been really nice the last few days…
Happy New Year to you Lrong, hope you are celebrating in a grand affair in Japan..:)
You are practicing a good tradition of observing CNY in Japan. I understand that they celebrate 1st Jan in a big way rather than CNY. I love your images; they give a different perspective to the plants that we have over here. Wishing you "Wan Shi Ru Yi" (may all your wishes be fulfilled).
What a wonderfully fragrant post — Happy New Year!
Hi Jeannie… trust that you are enjoying the festivities with your family… 🙂
You are right about the Japanese celebrating 1st January as their NY… thank you for your kind comments about my images… and may the Year of the Snake brings you and your family much health and prosperity…
Thank you for your nice words… 🙂
Happy Chinese New Year Lrong!
Hi Lrong!I guess it is a belated new year wish for you after all.Nevertheless, may this new year brings good health and prosperity to you and your family.I love all the flowers shown here. The white plums which is so gorgeous, bloomed on time for your celebration :)How nice it is to be able to pick up nice flowers for your home, wish we have those beauties here.
Thank you Malar…
Ash, thank you for your wishes… likewise, hope the year of the snake brings you and your loved ones much happiness and good health… we are very lucky to be able to pick flowers off the garden often…
Happy Lunar New Year!Mmm…so nice picking narcissus growing wild.
And they smell so good too…
