One of my favorite things is the #VisualPuns in a lot of Chinese designs.

This #QingDynasty #YongzhengPeriod plate shows 4 plants that together represent the blessing "The Fungus Fairy offers birthday greetings!".

The 4 plants (really 3 plants and a rock) are fungus (lingzhi), narcissus (suixian), nandina (tianzhu), and rocks (shoushi). Reading selectively, these rhyme with the phrase "zhixian zhushou" by which the Fungus Fairy blesses the birthday occasion.
