According to a study at the State University of New Jersey, "the presence of flowers triggers happy emotions, heightens feelings of life satisfaction and affects social behaviour in a positive manner far beyond what is normally believed".
Jeanett Havilland- Jones, a Psychology professor at the university says: "Common sense tells us that flowers makes us happy. Now science shows that not only do flowers make us happier than we know, they have strong positive effects on our emotional wellbeing."
