"合家欢乐" (hé jiā huān lè) – A harmonious family is a blessed one. A play on the word “合“ (hé - harmony and togetherness) in “荷花“ (hé huā – lilies), our Blessings Gift Envelopes – Harmony Blooms encompass a variety of lilies, blossoming amidst a river of coins, showering you and your family with abundant blessings this year.

The rats are also playfully hidden amongst the lilies for you to uncover your prosperity (鼠来宝 shǔ lái bǎo), see if you can count how many lucky rats there are. Lilies are also the lucky flowers for rats in this rat year. Here are some lily types and colours to fill your house with beauty and meaning.

Pink Lilies – Love, admiration, compassion. A classic bouquet that is used by many to woo their love interest or just to express how much you love mom or grandma. Pink lilies are subtle and adds just the right amount of colour to any home.

Orange Lilies – Energy, warmth and honour. These bouquets are best if you want to make a statement or draw attention to a particular area of your home.

Purple Lilies – Royalty, prestige, success. Purple lilies are quite rare to find but any good florist in this season should have a bunch or two for you to add, to your home or office, a pop of colour, something strong and confident to start the year with.

Calla Lilies – Faith, purity, youth. The blooms of the Calla lilies are a little more subtle and elegant, revealing just enough for a modern contemporary home. These are best for homes that want a classy touch to spruce up for guests.

Lily of the Valley – Luck in love, return to happiness. These unique blooms are often used in perfumes and are a great boost for those looking to get lucky in love.

Once again, we wish you a blessed year of harmony, love, prosperity and happiness with your family and loved ones – 
合家欢乐。
