This is a Bougainvillea Show in South China Bontanical Garden (华南植物园).
Different colours of Bougainvillea had been displayed.
Bougainvilleas like the heat and tolerate the drought, grow very well in southern China. Here’s a pedestrian overpass in Guanzhou, full of Bougainvilleas.

Xie xie…
So if Long is the Dragon, then Nian or Kuai must mean ‘happy’. I’m progressing… LOL.

Exactly, “Long” is Dragon, and “nian” is “year”, “Kuai le” is “happy” 😊

Duly noted. I just found on my notes:
Keong Hee Huat Chye (Hokkien)
Gong Hei Fat Choy (Cantonese, but you probably know that)
Gong Chi Fa Cai
Those are versions I’ve been told by friends (Peng Yu) over the years.
What fascinates me is how close the versions are. Keong Hee is just like Gong Hei with a different accent/prononciation…
So… Gong chi fa cai peng yu… (Hopefully the spelling is correct)
