Article of the Week
Research Reveals New Flower Power
Spring brings Vitamin D energy and green growth into our lives. There is an easy, natural self-confidence about hidden potential percolating beneath the earth’s surface. When buds and bulbs emerge, there is no consciousness of the past, only fresh beginnings with a clean slate. One of the most popular stress management strategies advises us to get into a natural rhythm. Now we can see it in action! Most of us have distinct preferences when it comes to colors, animals, parks, aromas and flowers. States even have a special state flower for representation.
Harvard research on the “Ecology of Flowers” claims that fresh flowers, sorry not the silk version, energize people at work and bring happiness to those at home. According to the study flowers make people more compassionate and less anxious, but you already felt this to be true and didn’t need a study for validation. Do you have a favorite flower – one that keeps you grounded, triggers your creativity, inspires you to be romantic or cues you to be peaceful? How about your beloved’s preferences? Do you bring your wife flowers on special occasions? Is there a bud vase on your table at dinner? You might want to use the science of flowers to create your story.
