THE MOTIFS IN THIS DESIGN
Chinese New Year narcissus study
Chinese New Year cultivation; botanical group cultivated internationally
The Asian Art Museum describes flowering narcissus as auspicious in Chinese New Year displays, associated with good fortune and prosperity. Its white-and-yellow form is named Gold Cup on Silver Stand in that account.
Tree-peony flowering-branch study
Chinese horticultural origins; cultivated internationally
Kyoto National Museum describes peony imagery in Chinese painting and decorative objects as associated with wealth and honor. This is an artistic convention, not a prediction of prosperity.
Wintersweet flowering-twig study
China; cultivated in temperate gardens
The International Dendrology Society account documents wintersweet as a subject of Song-dynasty poems by Huang Tingjian and Su Shi, appreciated for winter flowers and fragrance.
“Wishing you a bright new year, full of good fortune and fresh beginnings.”
Each motif carries its own documented meaning; brought together here, they are a wish from you — not a promise of any outcome. expressionatelier.com/shop/new-year-blossoms/
