Wealth, Friendship, and Good Luck
by Liz Bickel

"Jade Plant": Crassula ovata

This plant is also known by the names of the "Friendship Plant", "The Money Plant", and the "Good Luck Plant".
Usually for our New Years Day dinner, I put a dime under each dinner plate That is supposed to bring good luck and wealth in the New Year. In the rush of a busy day, I had forgotten to do that this year.

Nevertheless, the Jade Plant being in bloom also represents "friendship, wealth, and good luck".

Happy New Year!!!
