Blog post 5: The Magic of Flowers

Each day , thousands of gifts were exchanged by the people who want to send thoughtful regards to deserving friend or loved ones. And one of the gifts that we mostly receive are flowers. 

Why do girls like flowers? Well for me, every time that I will receive it makes me feel special. Also they smell good and look pretty. 

I have read an article entitled Emotional Impact of Flowers Study. It states there that flowers are one of the simplest way to improve our emotional health. Its presence triggers happy emotions, heightens feelings of life satisfaction and affects social behavior in a positive manner far beyond what is normally believed. 

It also indicates that flowers have an immediate impact on happiness. Especially to girls, 
when we receive one we express a true and excited smiles and demonstrates delight and gratitude. Flowers also have a long-term positive effect on moods.  it means you'll feel less depressed, anxious and agitated after receiving flowers, and demonstrate a higher sense of enjoyment and life satisfaction. And lastly, flowers make intimate connections meaning the presence of it led to increased contact with family and friends. 

"Common sense tell us that flowers makes us happy." - Dr. Haviland Jones

Yes, they really do make me happy especially us, girls. 

There's this another article I read entitled Want To Get Him To Open Up? Send Flowers. It states there that men who receive flowers demonstrate increased social interaction and happiness. 

In this article they made a study that involves two groups of men who varied in age and ethnicity. One group received a surprise gift of flowers and the other group who did not. This study shows the measures of the social interaction which are the the subjects' verbal cues and body language.


The men who received flowers indicated increased eye contact in conversation and produces more truer smiles than those men who did not receive flowers.

"When it comes to receiving flowers, men and women are on the same playing field." - Dr. Haviland Jones

With regard to that, both men and women who give and receive flowers are perceived as happy, achieving, strong, capable and courageous people. That's why I call it the magic of flowers.
