Flowers are Essential...

We all desire peace and a bit of tranquility from the stresses of every day life. We all desire peace and a bit of tranquility from the stresses of every day life. 

Did you know that Harvard conducted a behavioral research study on having cut flowers in your home?

Any guesses what the study revealed?

My guess is that if you are a flower friend of mine, you will not be surprised by these findings in the least.

The behavioral research study conducted by Nancy Etcoff, Ph.D., of Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, found that people feel more compassionate toward others, have less worry and anxiety, and feel less depressed when fresh cut flowers are present in the home.

I don't know about you, but these are all areas I am incredibly interested in improving.

Local flowers are really difficult to get in Idaho year round. This is why I am growing winter tulips. 

Tulips symbolize Spring, Hope, and Joy. 

When you add these to the Harvard study that improves Compassion, decreases worry and depression, it seems to me flowers will make the world a better place!
