From Poinsettias to golden china mums: a floral transition into the lunar new year

As the holiday season comes to a close, our spaces begin to evolve. The deep, festive reds of poinsettias that defined December slowly make room for a lighter, more intentional palette—one that reflects renewal, optimism, and fresh beginnings. This natural transition marks the arrival of yellow china mums, a flower deeply connected to meaning, seasonality, and cultural celebration.

At Channel Islands Flowers, we view this moment as more than a change in color. It is a shift in energy. While poinsettias symbolize warmth, celebration, and togetherness at the end of the year, yellow china mums guide us forward into a new chapter. Their golden hues represent prosperity, longevity, and good fortune, making them especially significant as we approach the Lunar New Year, which begins on February 17, 2026.

China mums have long been associated with the Lunar New Year, not only for their symbolism but also for their presence—strong, structured, and radiant. Yellow varieties, in particular, bring a sense of balance and refinement to floral designs. They illuminate interiors, soften winter spaces, and create a feeling of calm confidence as a new cycle begins.

This transition from poinsettias to china mums is intentional and thoughtful. Rather than signaling an end, it represents continuity. As the richness of the holiday season fades, china mums step in with clarity and purpose—offering a refined way to carry celebration into the new year.

Grown with attention to quality, timing, and freshness, each stem reflects our commitment to meaningful florals—from the field to the vase.

As February approaches, yellow china mums become more than a floral choice—they become a statement. A reminder that new beginnings don’t arrive abruptly, but rather unfold gently, guided by tradition, intention, and the natural rhythm of the seasons.

As we welcome the Lunar New Year, we look forward to continuing this transition with our customers—celebrating prosperity, renewal, and the promise of what’s to come, one golden bloom at a time.
