AUSPICIOUS IN NAME ONLY


It's that season again where the Chinese go ga-ga over ornamental plants with auspicious sounding names in the hope of ushering wealth luck for the coming year.  The above is one such plant with an auspicious sounding name, "Yat Toong Kum" (which roughly means easily begotten gold).  Mind you one small pot is not cheap.  The ones with the ordinary plastic pots are sold at RM11.  I did not enquire about the price for the ones in the fancy pots since I had not mind to buy.
