They attach a lot of significance to displaying various plants on Chinese New Year. Each plant given as a gift conveys a different wish. Kumquat trees, peach blossoms and peonies are the most sought-after plants at the flower fairs. Having a kumquat tree at home symbolizes both "abundance of wealth" and good luck. The peach is a symbol of longevity and is regarded as the strongest defense against evil. The peony is held in high regard by Chinese people. It's "the flower of richness and honor." Among their many colors, the bright red ones are particularly auspicious, bringing good luck and prosperity.
