Silver Lining: lucky bamboo

June 30, 2012

lucky bamboo



Did you know bamboo's supposed to be lucky? According to ancient Chinese legend, the number of stalks you have predicts the kind of luck you'll have. My bamboo is three stalks, which means happiness. {And considering this thing's been alive under my care for years, I'd say it's definitely lucky!} It's an easy way to add freshness and color to the lovenest. What indoor plants do you love?

{Sorry about the horrible lighting, by the way.}

Today, besides admiring my lucky bamboo, I'm
-going on a mid-day date to the temple
-making treats
-going to a pool party bridal shower


Happy Saturday!


P.S. On Monday, I'm starting a weekly link-up of instagram pictures! Get your snapshots or instagram pics in a post so you can join the party :)

  2. Do you watch one tree hill? It totally reminds me of that! Someone gave one of the characters a Lucky Bamboo! Haha!

    Going to the temple sounds marvelous. I haven't gone and done a session for a few months and I'm definitely in need of a temple trip! Have a blast.

  4. Your bamboo looks fantastic! I'm so envious. I actually had no idea bamboo was supposed to be lucky, and now it's kind of freaking me out about something:

    Six years ago, when I got my first job, my mom gave me a little bamboo plant for my desk. I watered it every day for four years and it flourished. It really grew and looked awesome (almost like yours). Well, after almost five years, it started drying up. I wasn't doing anything differently. It just stopped living and eventually died. A few weeks after I had to throw it out, I got laid off. Coincidence...? I guess my luck had run out!! Eep.
