Lunar New Year is a time for fresh beginnings, family, and meaningful gestures that say, I’m thinking of you, even when you cannot be there in person. In 2026, Lunar New Year begins on Tuesday 17 February, welcoming the Year of the Horse.
If you have loved ones in China, Australia, the UK, the US, or anywhere in between, flowers are a beautiful way to mark the moment. A thoughtful arrangement delivered locally can feel like home turning up at their door.
Why flowers feel especially right for Lunar New Year
Lunar New Year is full of symbolism: colour, scent, and intention. Flowers fit naturally into this season because they represent renewal, abundance, and hope. Whether you’re sending congratulations, gratitude, or simply a warm hello, blooms make the message tangible.
It is also a lovely option for sending something meaningful to colleagues, clients, or extended family overseas, especially if you cannot share the celebration in person this year.
