Nursuries around the island of Singapore are making brisk business selling pots after pots of gold kumquats, gold marigolds, gold cosmos, etc. Chinatown allows you to immerse into the festive, loud, sweaty atmosphere of the chinese lunar new year. But it is at the nursuries where you feel the warmness and freshness of the natural thousand blooms, the happy families choosing their pots of flowers that symbolises new life, fortune and good luck, that completes the experience of lunar new year. This is a ritual I go through annually. The picture shows the nursery opposite the Clementi Camp. Prices here are slightly lower than the nurseries over at Thompson Area.

So how did you managed to get any pot of flowers at a discounted rate? Luckily, the rainny season has gone such that you wont see floods occuring in these nurseries but its now the sun has come out and cause the hot and humid weather for the chinese new year!
At Thompson, you'll get 10% off with UOB Visa or Safra card. I bought my plants there, but didn't bring the cards, so I didn't get the discounts. Last year I bought from this Clementi nursery and got 10% off. This year I didn't buy from there, so I am not sure if they are still giving the discount. Best thing is ask...
