Good Feng Shui Flowers
The Chinese regard spring, with its new growth and spirit of optimism, as an auspicious time of year, hence their pleasure in cherry and plum blossom and the symbolismthey carry. A great many other flowers symbolize happiness and should, if possible, be grown in your garden if you want to attract good Feng Shui.
A small selection is included here.
The chrysanthemum
The rich, yellow, round-headed chrysanthemum is particularly highly regarded by the Chinese and the Japanese. Yellow is the most auspicious color in a flower that is associated with fall and a life of ease. Chrysanthemums may be used to equally good effect in the garden or in a window box during the summer.
Plum blossom
A symbol of good fortune and longevity, the flowers signify purity and the tree is noted for its delightful fragrance. Planted in the north of the garden, the plum tree will be most auspicious although it can also be placed to good effect in any part of the garden at the back of the property.
The peony
This is regarded by the Chinese as the king of flowers, a flower of riches and honor, a Yang flower, and the essence of spring. The peony represents feminine beauty and, of the many colors in which it comes, red is regarded as being especially lucky for families with daughters who are looking for a partner. If you buy a peony, plant it in the southwest corner of your garden to attract relationship, marriage, or romance luck in the home.
Other plants which resemble the peony may be used as substitutes although their flowers may not last as long. These include the hibiscus, the gardenia, and the begonia. Begonias are quite easy to cultivate and they are excellent for adding color to the garden. They come in many colors and varieties—the reds, yellows, golds, pinks, and whites are superb Yang colors — but I would advise going for the red, or multicolored varieties that more resemble the peony.
The magnolia
The white magnolia especially is a symbol of purity and a single magnolia tree planted in the front garden is said to attract great contentment. Grown in the back garden it is said to symbolize hidden jewels, or the gradual accumulation of great wealth.
Narcissus and other bulbs
The Chinese believe that the narcissus symbolizes great good fortune and narcissi are given as auspicious gifts in the New Year. They are relatively easy to grow — but do not choose the dwarf varieties which are not auspicious.
The lotus
If you have a water feature, this is the most auspicious plant to have. It is believed to inspire peace and contentment, and to symbolize the opening of opportunities. The lotus blossom is also associated with the Buddha and growing a lotus will engender a growth of spiritual consciousness.
The lily
This is regarded as the aristocrat of bulbs. With a wonderful scent and a glorious appearance, in full bloom the lily represents good Feng Shui throughout the year.
