What type of flowers to grow on the balcony

[matilda]

Your advice would be appreciated.
I have a round (semi-circle) balcony facing the main windows (sliding doors) and main door of my apartment. It is all in the SE, which is supposedly a good direction for me.
I am planning on decorating it with flowers and patio furniture. Any thoughts on what kind of flowers/colors I should use?
Directly facing my balcony is a small courtyard and other apartments.

In general, as a balcony is above the ground and not on landed property, you can easily grow almost any plants that can bloom at the balcony.
This is because, it is more important that you enjoy your little garden on the balcony then be constrained by what to plant.
So long as the flowers continue to bloom, it is considered auspicious.
For example, I have two plants on each side of my house balcony. Since the day I placed them, every day, you can see flowers on both plants. When my house was undergoing re-tiling, the plants we placed some other loation. They almost died. However, since they returned to the same location, they are continously booming.
Go and see plants especially those that are flowering and if you like one, go and get it.
Feng Shui for the landed property is different. As we are aware, in a short time and depending on the plant, it can grow to a huge tree. Here, you have to consider the Four Symbolic Animal Concept:-
1. Ideal locations for trees are at the East side of the house (when you stand at the main entrance facing outside).
2. Avoid planting too many trees especially tall trees at the North East or West which is Yin. Too many trees create a too yin environment.
3. It is good to plant trees behind the house. Again, be moderate.
Hope the above helps.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
