Need a last minute Chinese New Year touch for the home? Join the crowds packed into the Thomson Road nursery belt, where Far East Flora is open till after midnight on the eve of Chinese New Year. Apart from pots of pussy willows and four seasons lime, bamboo and orchids, it also offers a collection of limited edition table gardens. For example, the Golden Rat of Fortune features a gold rat figure amidst plants such as the Dracaena Fragrans and a mixture of festive indoor plants. The plants selected are hardy, long-lasting and require minimal care, which means they can last through the 15 days of Chinese New Year and more.
