Roses
If you think roses symbolize love, you are mistaken. In fact, the core meaning of roses is happiness and luck. Placing roses at the beginning of the year helps the family have a good start and fulfillment.
Golden Chrysanthemums
Golden chrysanthemums are not only beautiful but also symbolize longevity and filial piety towards ancestors. It is a popular choice to express respect and gratitude.
Chrysanthemums are one of the flowers to be arranged during Tet. In addition to the above meaning, golden chrysanthemums also attract luck and fortune to the homeowners. According to folklore, chrysanthemums that receive more light will become fresher and bring more luck to the homeowners. Homeowners should arrange chrysanthemums in places with plenty of light and suitable for the Feng Shui of the house.
Money Trees
According to Feng Shui, money trees symbolize wealth and luck. In the old days, our ancestors believed that if a house had a pot of money trees on the Lunar New Year, the house would prosper, money would flow like water, and luck would last the whole year. Money trees also have the meaning of happiness and joy, so they are often bought as gifts for each other to convey New Year’s wishes.
In addition, the vibrant colors such as red, pink, white, orange, etc., of this flower will add to the family space full of spring colors to welcome the new year.
Orchids
Orchids are very simple and often used as offerings during Tet because of their beautiful and long-lasting colors.
Furthermore, to decorate the house, people often use pots of yellow vanda orchids to bring more luck to the new year.
Apricot Blossoms
When it comes to Tet flowers, apricot blossoms must be mentioned. Apricot blossoms with many young buds on the tree trunk are considered a symbol of prosperity, so many families choose to buy them for their homes in the new year.
Additionally, Feng Shui experts advise against placing certain types of flowers on the ancestral altar during Tet. Specifically, orchids, which have “phong” (meaning promiscuity) in their name, evoke multiple romantic affairs, which is not suitable for offering to Buddha or ancestors. Calla lilies are beautiful, elegant, and have a strong fragrance, making them unsuitable for Buddhist worship, but they can be offered to ancestors or holy places (especially Holy Mother).
However, many people also believe that calla lilies should not be placed on the ancestral altar because this flower represents separation, life and death, and will bring misfortune to the family. Dragon flowers have a fragrance but their flower shape resembles “dragon claws” – a fierce and aggressive image, so they are not suitable for placement on the altar. Jasmine flowers symbolize purity and cleanliness, but in folklore, this is a type of flower associated with unlucky stories and unfortunate encounters, so they are not used to decorate the ancestral altar during Tet.
When placing flowers on the ancestral altar during Tet, homeowners should limit the use of flowers with pale colors, lack of vitality, or dark tones. Looking at those flowers will not feel the vitality, but only add a gloomy and gloomy picture to the Buddha’s altar and ancestors.
Limit the use of plastic flowers or fake flowers because they are not elegant and fresh. Using fake flowers is like using fake money, allowing fake goods to exist in reality, making it difficult for Buddha and ancestors to see the sincerity and sincerity of the homeowners.
