What kind of flowers are associated with Asia?

I'm planning an event with an Asian theme and am lost on what kind of flowers to use in my centerpieces. I need for them to be pink, but that is my only specification. Help?


Pink oriental lilies. Lotus and iris are another.

Orchids and lilies sitting in tiny rock gardens.

Has a Zen quality that works nicely with an Asian theme.

A lotus blossom candle floating in a crystal bowl filled with water (add the same tiny rocks at the bottom) also makes for a beautiful centerpiece.

You may find different flowers represent different cultures in various parts of Asia. In the south east, you should see more of orchid, hibiscus, roses, chrysanthemum. In China, lotus, magnolia, camellia, desert rose mean prosperity to them.

Japanes cherry blossoms.
