What do orchid blooms mean and what do they foretell?
Orchid blooms carry many symbolic meanings. The orchid is a flower of good fortune, and since ancient times orchid blooms have been endowed with far too many auspicious meanings, for example representing the arrival of spring, the beginning of a new year, and a fresh start for the new year; representing people's yearning for and pursuit of fine character, and representing good luck for the coming year; they also foretell smooth sailing in love for couples, and the auspicious wish that lovers will ultimately be united in marriage.
One: All things revive, spring arrives
The flowering period of most orchid varieties falls in the spring season each year, a time when all things on earth revive and teem with vitality. This foretells the arrival of a new year, that the bad things of last year have all become the past, and a fresh, vigorous and vital brand-new year is being welcomed.
Two: Foretelling good luck for this year
When the owner who grows the flowers sees them bloom, it can bring the household a year of good fortune. Because orchid flowers are very elegant, bringing a fresh feeling, when an orchid blooms it also adds a sense of freshness to the atmosphere of the whole home, making people feel cheerful and happy, so that in dealing with people and matters things also go more smoothly, and when troubles arise they turn into blessings.
Three: Prosperous descendants, lasting blessings
In the sense of the I Ching, when we see the scene of orchid blooms, it brings us good luck. For the elderly, good luck foretells family harmony, many children and grandchildren, and lasting blessings. It also foretells that one's descendants will rise step by step and advance in their careers.
Four: Smooth sailing in love
Give an orchid to the one you love most to express your deep affection for your beloved and to promote the development of the relationship between the two of you. Let your beloved understand the important place they hold in each other's hearts, and help the relationship grow warmer.
