You can learn a lot from the flowers.

I was so inspired when I came across this simple yet profound statement recently. The phrase has the adolescent spark of a young child, which is probably why it carries so much weight. What really can a flower teach us? These things of beauty, said to be the biological manifestation of God, constantly surround us yet usually blend into the background. I was pleasantly surprised to learn about the significant benefits of keeping blooming pods of perfection around. Useful only for decoration? I think not. Consider these facts next time you spot a bouquet of floral beauties at your grocery store or farmers market.

Flowers have an immediate and significant impact on happiness.

Flowers can improve your mood for long periods of time.

Flowers harbor intimacy between family, friends, and loved ones.

Ontop of their inherent benefits, the presence of flowers will transform any room from well decorated to flawless instantly. Here are some ideas for incorporating flora into your living spaces.

Use unconventional containers, such as rain boots, pitchers, tins, or watering cans, to act as a vase for flowers.





Make flowers the centerpiece for your coffee, kitchen, or dining room table, even small side tables, to add a fresh, inviting warmth to your home. Keep the flowers in simple vases or pots, and place candles around them at random for maximum impact.
