I. Introduction to Gesang flower (broom flower)
In Tibetan, “Gesang” means “good times” or “happiness”, and “Medo” means flower, so the Gesang flower is also called the happiness flower, and for a long time it has carried the beautiful feelings of the Tibetan people longing for happiness and good fortune.
The Gesang flower changes color with the seasons, and is truly beautiful to behold. Beautiful yet not lacking in delicate charm, tender yet not lacking in uprightness. It is an extremely strong flower. The Gesang flower has many colors of buds, and they change with the seasons, making it highly ornamental. But some Gesang flowers do not change with the seasons, as there are different kinds. Even without this characteristic, different Gesang flowers and broom flowers will still bloom into beautiful buds of pink, bright red, yellow, white, purple, and so on.

In Tibet, people often use the Gesang flower to express and give voice to beautiful feelings, and many songs and stories praising the Gesang flower have been passed down. The Gesang flower holds a very high place in the hearts of the Tibetan people, and is regarded by the Tibetan people as a holy flower symbolizing love and good fortune.
