Luckiest flowers to have in your home according to your Chinese zodiac sign
Whichever Chinese zodiac animal you are born to be, there's a lucky flower for you that could encourage a more joyful life.
Cockscomb flowers (Celosia cristata), whether grown in the garden or picked up at the flower market, will bring good luck to those born in the year of the Rooster.

Take, for example, the Rat – people who are born in the years: 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008 – who may experience a better life if the African violet flower is inside their living quarters.
By decorating the home or garden with gorgeous flowers that are aligned to your Chinese zodiac animal, it's possible more good energy will flow into your life.
That's not to say that they must be the only flowers in and around your space, as all plants are healing when they are nourished with positivity, light, nutritious soil and care.
But, by introducing the best flowers for you into your abode, you can only be manifesting deeper connections, rewarding experiences, and a sense of gratitude.
