Flowers do more than brighten your surroundings.  These positive petals help brighten your mood and your interaction with others. 

A Harvard behavioral research study by Dr. Etcoff presented these key findings :

People feel more compassionate towards others, have less worry and anxiety and feel less depressed when flowers are present in the home
 

Flowers demonstrate a calming energy for those who want to achieve that effect at home or work
 

There was also evidence that there is a carryover effect...people who had flowers in their homes felt more energized and compassionate in the workplace, too.

Dr. Etcoff also identified that people felt more 'down' in the early morning hours and flowers helped overcome these morning blues.

Even if you don't perk up your morning with coffee, this aromatic and fanciful morning brew will help get your day off to a positive start.
