Sending flowers is a great way to say I love you; I hope you get well soon, I'm sorry, or Congratulations! But you don't have to wait for a certain occasion to send someone flowers. Why not send a bouquet of beautiful flowers just to put a smile on someone's face? Here are some of the best flowers to include in a brighten your day bouquet:
Geraniums
These unique-looking flowers come in a wide range of colors, including white, pink, red, orange, and purple. Regardless of which color you include in the bouquet, these flowers are sure to brighten the recipient's day because of their sweet, soothing scent. In fact, many people take a whiff of geranium essential oils when they need to relieve stress. Send these flowers to someone who could use a little pick-me-up.
Orchids
Orchids are one of the most elegant flowers in existence. People love receiving orchids because of their beautiful colors and long-lasting flowers. Plus, orchids are known to boost positive energy in the room, which is why so many Feng Shui experts incorporate potted orchids into their interior design plans. Don't forget to include orchids in the brighten your day bouquet that you send to someone who could desperately use a boost of positive energy in their lives.
Lily of the Valley
The lily of the valley is a white, unusual looking flower that will be sure to take someone's breath away when included in a floral arrangement. As a matter of fact, garden expert David Domoney conducted a study to identify the plants that make people the happiest, and lily of the valley ranked at the top of the list. He asked the public to submit nominations, and then created an exhibit at the Chelsea Flower Show to display the top 20 plants. His team then closely monitored guests' reactions and body language as they looked at each of the flowers. At the end of the study, Domoney concluded that no plant made people happier than lily of the valley.
Roses
Roses are often included in floral arrangements, not only because they're beautiful, but also because they have the power to lift people's spirits. A study published in the Journal of Physiological Anthropology revealed that people who smelled or gazed at roses reported higher levels of happiness and comfort than people who were not exposed to the flowers. Therefore, sending a bouquet of roses is the perfect way to brighten someone's day.
Sunflowers
The sunflower is one of the most recognizable flowers in the world. Regardless of where you live, you are probably familiar with the vibrant colors and tall stalks of the sunflower. These flowers are just as bright and cheery as the summer sun, which is why they are known to bring joy and happiness to anyone who lays their eyes upon them.
