~The More You Know!~

Kinkan is the alternative term for kumquat (Citrus japonica), a group of small fruit-bearing trees in the flowering plant family Rutaceae. The edible fruit closely resembles that of the orange (Citrus sinensis), but it is much smaller, being approximately the size and shape of a large olive.

The round variety symbolizes good luck in China and other Asian countries, where it is kept as a houseplant and given as a gift during the Lunar New Year. I believe this card was made in its honor.
