Flowers Eliminate Worries

Business has been really slow this last week at the florist. Its a slow time of year, but also Chapel Hill has been in a general funk since it became obvious that UNC basketball this year is not going anywhere.

Good thing we have all these flowers around us.  Read the following study results to find out why nothing ever gets us down!


"Bouquets in the home boost women’s moods, according to a study at Harvard University.
Within hours of placing flowers in their homes, participants reported feeling less stress and anxiety, benefits that carried over into the subjects’ work spaces.
Lead study author Nancy Etcoff, PhD, believes the reason is rooted in evolution, adding, 'Flowers signal a fertile environment that makes us feel secure.'”
