A Little About Flowers

The word “flower” is a reflection of nature’s beauty. It comes from the Old French flor or flour, which in turns comes from the Latin word “flos” or “flor-”.

Flowers are known to have an immediate and significant impact on one’s happiness, creating a feeling of extraordinary delight and gratitude when receiving flowers. The beauty of flowers creates intimate connections with those whom we receive it from, and to those we send them to.

Roses signifies love, gerberas signifies cheerfulness and alstroemeria signifies friendship. Sending someone flowers is a simple gesture to show that you care. These flowers are also commonly found in a number of our specially curated bunches.

As Dr.Haviland-Jones once said, “Common sense tells us that flowers make us happy. Now, science shows that not only do flowers make us happier than we know, they have strong positive effects on our emotional well being”.

People love flowers for their array of colours, textures and shapes. Its beauty and colour help brighten people’s day and bring life to a room. However, is pleasing the human eye the sole purpose of nature’s floral design?

A flower’s scent, colour and size, all these attract a diverse collection of butterflies, moths, bees, wasps, beetles, as well as bats and birds.
