“When one flower blooms 

spring awakens everywhere”

John O'Donohue



Flowers have a special power all of their own.  Studies show that flowers have an immediate impact on happiness.  All participants in a particular study expressed excitement when receiving flowers.  Their reactions included surprise, happiness and gratitude.




Receiving flowers had a long term positive effect on moods.  Study participants reported feeling less depressed, anxious and agitated after receiving flowers. They also demonstrated greater sense of life satisfaction.  Ecotherapy:The mystical power of flowers to heal.  



Tradition dictates that certain flowers and colours are associated with specific occasions. 

However, in terms of emotional health, colour choices take on different meanings.  Red, traditionally associated with love and romance, has a positive effect on the immune system. Consider sending red flowers to someone who has recently had surgery, or experienced an illness. Red is also an energizing colour for those who suffer from fatigue or exhaustion.  To both give and receive flowers in an act of compassion and healing.





Yellow, psychologically, is the happiest colour in the spectrum. It symbolizes the sun, and invokes happy and radiant feelings. It is a friendly colour that encourages communication.

Yellow also stimulates the memory and the nervous system.



Blue is most often named as a favorite colour. Just as the blue sky and the blue ocean are considered constants in our world, blue is perceived as dependable and trustworthy. 

Blue invokes feelings that are calm, cool and sedate.





Pink is associated with joy. Brighter pinks, similar to reds, stimulate energy, increasing the blood pressure, heartbeat and respiration. Softer pink hues convey a sense of romance.



White symbolizes openness. 

White blooms are most often associated with purity, honesty and perfection.



Jesus said, “Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you—you of little faith!
