Those are exactly the sorts of notions I was looking for, Xker. Thanks.

Rationally, I like Xker's explanations; aesthetically, I prefer the keeping away of evil spirits part.

If you are able to, I'd like to see a Frappr pin in China.

I think the yellow is Forsythia, but I'm clueless on the rest. Great to hear from you again, Billy. We always enjoy your pictures.
