Gladiolus: Rising High
Gladiolus flowers, with their tall, elegant spikes, symbolize rising high, success, and strength of character. Their vibrant colors and impressive stature make them a striking addition to any Chinese New Year display. They represent reaching new heights in the coming year.
Why they work: The shape of the gladiolus resembles a sword, symbolizing strength and protection. Their upward growth signifies ambition and the pursuit of success.
Arrangement Tip: Use gladiolus as a focal point in a larger floral arrangement. Their height will add drama and visual interest. Pair them with other lucky flowers for a truly auspicious display. Gladiolus arrangements can range from $75 - $150 depending on size and accompanying blooms.
Timing is Everything
To ensure your lucky flowers are at their peak during the Chinese New Year celebrations, plan your purchase carefully. Order your arrangements a week or two in advance to secure the best selection and ensure timely delivery. Many of these flowers are seasonal, so check availability with your local florist.
Pro Tip: To extend the life of your cut flowers, change the water every other day and add a floral preservative. For pussy willow branches, lightly mist them with water to keep the catkins soft and fluffy.
Complete the Celebration
Flowers are just one part of a meaningful Chinese New Year celebration. Pair your lucky blooms with other traditional elements, such as red envelopes, lanterns, and delicious festive foods, to create a truly immersive and joyful experience for your loved ones.
Consider adding a personal touch to your floral gifts by including a handwritten card with heartfelt wishes for the New Year. Thoughtful gestures like these will make your gift even more special and memorable.
