We all love flowers and appreciate their incredible beauty, but if we take a few 
moments to stop and truly examine them, we will realize how powerful the effect 
of fragrances and textures is in our life. 
      
Maybe we should be thinking of God's wonderful gift of flowers to us and the
notion that not only 'an apple a day keeps the doctor away' but a
flower a day will too. Enjoy! :)

Bringing flowers to a sick or injured person is an ancient tradition, and now, 
research has shown that the flowers' bright colors and wonderful aromas have a 
noticeable effect on healing and recovery. Scientists have discovered that 
flowers sent to patients in hospitals reduce the need for painkillers and even
shorten recovery time. Some flowers also contribute to lowering the blood 
pressure and heart rate.

led researchers to find that even a faint whiff of flowers has the ability to 
strengthen positive emotions and affects our subconscious considerably. People

when they are not aware of it.

Flowers Make You A More Compassionate Person:
 
People that are surrounded by flowers for a prolonged period tend to develop strong 
feelings of compassion for those around them. If you have flowers around you, 
you are more likely to help a person in need, as well as be a more positive and 
altruistic person. Perhaps the beauty of flowers and their representation of 
fragile life increase our sympathy to each other.

Flowers Convey Openness And Acceptance:
 
When you enter a home full of colorful flowers, you will immediately feel the
household conveys openness, understanding and acceptance of others. People who
love flowers and enjoy cultivating them are perceived as more empathic listeners, 
and as such can be trusted with our innermost thoughts. When you are in an 
environment full of flowers, you'll feel less stressed when meeting a new person, 
and you'll connect with them more quickly.

Different Colors Have Different Effects:
 
Our brain analyzes each color differently and therefore each of them has a 
unique effect on our moods, feelings and thoughts. You can match the flower 
arrangement to the atmosphere you want to create - yellow tones contribute 
to a nurturing environment and enhance other colors. Pink and purple will 
provide a romantic atmosphere and red hues enhance sensual experiences. For 
a calm environment, use blues, while the combination of several bright colors 
will create a fun atmosphere.

away negative thoughts. Flower cultivation will give you a sense of self-satisfaction
