Observe the change in their moods and expressions. That sad and depressed expression will vanish in thin air, and voila, you have made a person happy by just gifting flowers. Because of the instant mood boosting properties that fresh flowers bring along, we love to receive them as much as we feel joyous about gifting them.

    We haven’t had fresh flowers for a while. They do always seem to brighten my mood though. They’re just so fresh and vibrant!

    I know certain flowers/plants have literal medicinal value, but I think it’s true they can have certain emotional healing values. Some flowers, like daisies or sunflowers can immediately brighten the mood. On the other hand, I associate the scent of chrysanthimums with funeral homes.

  5. I love having fresh flowers in my home, so it is fun to learn how beneficial they can truly be.
