The four-leaf clover, also known as the lucky clover, is said to bring luck and happiness to anyone who can find a four-leaf specimen among a hundred thousand clovers (which typically have three leaves). Therefore, the four-leaf clover also represents hope and happiness.
It’s said that among ten thousand three-leaf clovers, only one will have four leaves, which is why the four-leaf clover is universally recognized as a symbol of luck. Each leaf carries a different meaning, encompassing the four things most desired in life: honor, wealth, love, and health. Having all these things simultaneously is considered truly fortunate.
6. Orchid

The Spider Plant’s message is to bring hope to people.
Whenever the small plantlets begin to sprout from the stems of the Spider Plant, it always gives a feeling of flourishing growth. Its stems and leaves stretch downward, seemingly without an end in sight. This unknown end symbolizes its hope, its goal.
Legend has it that a jealous examiner, in order to ensure his own son’s success, tried to sabotage a talented candidate named Lin. When grading papers, the emperor happened to visit in disguise. In a rush, the examiner hid Lin’s paper in the orchids on the table.
The emperor discovered the hidden paper while admiring the orchids, and after learning the truth, dismissed the examiner. Hence, the flower’s symbolic meaning.
8. Wild Orchid

The Green Mandrake’s message is endless hope.
The green mandrake is a noble variety of mandrake. The whole plant is smooth and hairless. Its corolla is funnel-shaped, and its leaves are wide and ovate, making it look very elegant and beautiful. However, this green flower is highly toxic.
When you feel down or tired, the scent of the green mandrake can act as a stimulant. Therefore, many countries prohibit the cultivation of mandrakes.
Despite this, its symbol is endless hope, perhaps because its toxic scent can bring a sense of exhilaration. The entire green mandrake plant is poisonous, with the fruit, especially the seeds, being the most toxic, followed by the tender leaves.
10. Peach Blossom

The five petals each represent different symbols, including love, health, perseverance, protection, and career.
