What does the blooming of the dripping Guanyin indicate?

1. When does it bloom?

Its flowering period is after October, mainly in winter and spring. In February, March and April, it is the time when the flowers bloom. However, its flowers are not easy to open. Because the plant has higher requirements for the environment for flowering. For plants grown in northern regions, many conditions are not met and they cannot bloom. However, if it blooms, it is a very good sign.

2. What does flowering indicate?

Generally speaking, it is a symbol of auspiciousness. It can be analyzed from the following two aspects.

(1) From its appearance. Its flowers are milky white sticks with a green oval calyx behind them. From a distance, it looks like the calyx is embracing the white pistil. That flower stick will make people think of Guanyin's jade body. Its name probably comes from this. The calyx is like an enveloping halo. During the entire flowering stage, the whole plant seems to be shrouded in Buddha's light. Therefore, from this aspect, the omen of the blooming of the Dripping Guanyin is very auspicious.

(2) We can also talk about it from the perspective of its flower language. There are many theories about its flower language. Some say it is "like-minded", which is about friends. Others say it is "sincerity", which means a person's true sincerity. There is also "inner elegance", which refers to a person's character. No matter which one it is, its flowering is a good sign.
