PEACH BLOSSOM TO BOLSTER AFFINITY

During the Lunar New Year season, the peach blossom is one of the most popular flowers sought by the Chinese in East Asian countries. Here in Malaysia, it is rather difficult to buy the real thing and we make do with the artificial type. It is believed that the presence of this particular flower in ones home can help activate relationship luck. It might not necessarily be the romantic but can include good rapport and affinity with others who come into contact with us. Read the following article about a popular Hong Kong actress who bought the peach blossom and her explanation for buying it.

Shirley Yeung Buys Peach Blossom to Bolster Affinity With People
Shirley Yeung has a habit to buy festive flowers during Chinese New Year. Peach blossoms and daffodils are her favourites. Shirley smiled and said: “A lot of people like to buy festive flowers. Peach blossoms can boost interpersonal affinity. This is good for my line of job. I really like peach blossoms. It’s pink and beautiful when they blossom. Daffodils are very cute and their scent is great!”According to custom, you are supposed to walk around the peach blossom in a clockwise fashion. If the petals or blossom fall onto your head, you will have “peach blossom” luck the entire year. Shirley expressed: “I am a nosy and superstitious person. I can’t put an entire peach blossom plant at my home. I can walk here and there down here. I would definitely do it at a mall because it is good luck and part of the festive spirit.”
