That is why we feel happy when we see bright colours and we tend to feel lonely when dark colours are around us. Psychologists believe that the different colours of flowers can serve as catalysts for extracting human feelings, mainly because they can stimulate our sight and smell.

Certain studies have also proven that flowers and plants have great impact on the health-being of people. In fact, since the ancient times, different flowers and plants have been used to treat a wide variety of medical conditions. These flowers and plants were turned into decoctions, oils, pastes, and teas to cure certain diseases. In the modern times, food supplements are largely comprised of different flowers and plants that have been processed and turned into tablets, capsules, or syrups. A lot of relaxations spots such as spas utilise the scents of flowers and plants for their aromatherapy services.

The colours that the flowers bear are also associated with the social behaviour of a person. In instances when flowers are presented to an individual, smiles are often the answers given to the senders or givers. Flowers, regardless of their colours, types, and sizes are prominent parts of social occasions such as birthdays and weddings.

In almost every society, the vivid colours of the flowers are regular parts of holidays and festivals. In fact, in some countries there are festivals that are solely dedicated to specific flowers. In Japan, the Festival of Happiness celebrates the sunflower as their national flower. In Thailand, the Bloooming Krachiao Festival celebrates the Siam tulip.

One of the most beneficial effects of flowers to an individual is exhibited with increased productivity. This has been proven by corporate studies carried out by numerous companies. Those employees who received flowers at random times had increased work productivity over their counterparts who did not received flowers at all.

In summary, the wide variety of vivid colours that the flowers bear alongside the sweet scents they emit make them wonderful catalysts of positive human emotions.
