Plants are symbol of life. During every Chinese Year, my relatives in Ipoh never failed to have 2 potted Kumquat ( Limes ) trees at the main entrance of the house. The kumquat tree with the blooming goldern yellow coloured limes symbolized wealth and good luck. Chinese culture is pretty much obssessed with prosperity and wealth, so the Kumquat tree is a popular plant adopted by the Chinese in Malaysia as auspicious decorative plant during Chinese New Year.
