You can certainly relieve stress by taking flowers home with you-- but you can also help yourself feel better by giving flowers to other people-- it's kinda like the advice the gurus give about helping yourself by helping others. I have to say, though, it really works. Every time someone comes in my store and I give them a bloom because I can see they're having a bad day (or they tell us they're having a bad day), I feel better. And the great thing is, it doesn't really matter what kind of flower you give! This time of year, I like to give narcissus, because although they're a true spring flower and don't last very long, they smell wonderful. Whatever you choose, give for the sake of giving, with no expectation. The good feelings you get back will be tenfold.
