Kim has started yet another fun challenge – The Colour Crazy Challenge 2019!
Well, it very simple to join, just
Post Orange, have fun.
Let’s color Virily!
I don’t know if Mandarin Orange bloom and fruit all year round or only during Spring/Chinese New Year period, but they’re extremely popular plant for the festive season!
The fruit (Mandarin Orange) is called Ji Zi whereby “Ji” is the same pronouciation as the word (Ji) which means auspicious! Also, when visiting during New Year, people bring Ji Zi, and then when they leave, the host will return them 2 brand new Ji Zi, so blessing to both host and guests!

Lol, they aren’t tasty tho :p
They’re usually not juicy or sweet…
I knew about yao lishi but not ji zi…
Yao lishi is asking for angbao I believe … well that comes later, after the Ji zi… :p
unless art counts as angbao, I don’t hand it out…
LOL, uh… no angbaos then…
but I’m happy with art! :p
just imagine it comes to you in red packets
this looks so nice and yummy. i like to have a tree like this.
Lol, but I don’t think the fruits are sweet … oops
I would have this tree, I hope that mandarins will mature
They sure will mature!
But I don’t think they’ll taste good … lol
it depends on the species …
Wow! My 2 mandarin trees are not that good! It is not the season for them yet here
I think their season might just be over? I’m not sure …
Very beautiful tree. I would like to have lemon tree.
If it’s me, I would want strawberry or mango tree!! hehe
Wow, this is a beautiful tree, would love to have one.
Perhaps you can try a Chinese garden store or perhaps chinatown (if there is one in your area) during Chinese New Year, you might find one … who knows 🙂
I thank you for 2 brands new Ji Zi from you.
In my place fruit trees in pots always attract the attention of buyers or lovers of plants, as well as the orange tree.
Hmm… I’m not sure here but these are hardly available outside of CNY (according to my observation) but there is suddenly many of them during CNY period!
Business people and traders always know when it’s a good time to take advantage of moments, right?
Yes, I guessed so … but also there is a demand
In Slovenia, mandarins are born in October
Really? I’ve no idea…
I know they ship almost fruiting plant over slightly before CNY, so they’d bloom/fruit just in time
