    Chinese sympathy card - ideas?

    HAs anyone any ideas for a sympathy card for a Chinese colleague whose mother has just passed away in China? I think the traditional colours are different in China so I don't know what might be appropriate (would usually do lilies but that might be the wrong thing for all I know).
    Ideas welcome.

    I think white is the colour of "death" in China, which is why brides wear red (a lucky colour)

    ETA OK, I've looked it up and white is the colour of mourning in China, and it says always give a white envelope

    The chrysanthemum is the traditional funeral flower in China, but a lily shouldn't be inappropriate...

    Thanks Kelly: I'll stick to white lilies then!
