BUDDHA PINE
The Chinese believe that the Buddha Pine that I am posing with in the above picture will bring luck to the occupants of the house if it is planted there. For your information, the plant next to me costs RM788.00. I heard that there are also some Buddha Pines or Loh Hon Tzong which could cost tens of thousands of ringgit. Wow!
