Lucky Bamboo

there are a few typical plants people buy for decorative purpose during cny like the pussy willow. and I'm sure most of you would have come across the Lucky Bamboo (aka Fortune bamboo).

it's usually refer to as 开运竹, which means 'bamboo that brings good fortune'. guess its more fengshui related. the funny things Chinese come up with.

i don't believe in fengshui but I find this plant interesting. the one I found is the mini version stacked in layers. there's also the big ones that can be twisted into different shapes. I'm sure you will come across them this cny :)
