Take a Look! My Flower is the Best!

Hong Kong

This lady asked me to see her flower and said that her Peach Blossom is the best.

The Peach Blossom is one of the popular floral decorations for the Chinese New Year.
To ensure it will bring the buyer good luck, the peach blossom is covered by a red paper.
The colour "Red" symbolises "good luck" in the Chinese New year.

Hi CM, Just the right everything in this scene. Colours, balance and the capture of her expression is priceless. Excellent portraiture. \/

Wow... I love the colors... and it makes me wonder about how long does it take fo a tree like that to grow ? She didn't simply cut and trimmed some branches, she (or someone) cut the whole tree ! I love walking the streets of Hong Kong with you... and discover its many wonderful and priceless little secrets.
