A bouquet of flowers is capable of much, the experiments of psychologists at Rutgers University (USA) proved.
Women who are given flowers, even two or three days later, feel much more confident and satisfied than those who received “only” a fruit basket or a scented candle as a gift. Flowers also affect men: under the pretext of “promotions of local florists” they were presented with gerberas, observing the reaction. All the men smiled, struck up a conversation with the donor, while those who were handed a fountain pen remained reserved and distant. Flowers have also been found to improve memory. Older women who received bouquets before the tests showed a better ability to remember facts than the rest of the participants in the study.
