Flowers Linked to Life Satisfaction

   Partnered with Jeannette Haviland-Jones, of Rutgers, to study then effect of flowers on human emotion and well being. After 10 months of research, SAF (Society of American Florists) unveiled the results of the first-ever emotional impact of flowers study at its annual convention. Research indicates that the presence of flowers triggers happy emotions, heightens feelings of life satisfaction, and affects future behavior in a positive manner far beyond what is normally believed. As a result, flowers tend to be a natural and helpful moderator of moods.
