One thing I like about Chinese New Year are the flowers that are everywhere - in the shopping malls, in Chinatown and in the wet markets. Featured here are the typical flowers that appeal to the Chinese celebrating Chinese New Year because of their auspicious colours of red, yellow and orange. Flowers or plants with names that are associated with good luck, fortune and health are also popular and as expected cost more that what they would on ordinary days.

Yes just as we feel the pain of such waste, there are others who will not spare a thought for these plants because they are seen as mere decorative items. This reminds me of an even more sinful wastage - the thoughtless use of the countless chrysanthemum plants in the movie "Curse of the Golden Flowers". Not only were the flowers used as decorations but they were trampled and stomped on by the thousands of movie extras at the end of it all. Yerks!
