The Healing Powers Of Flowers

I have always loved flowers. Since childhood, my favorites were the Lilacs, and yellow roses. The Lilac because of their amazingly sweet, almost perfume like scent, and yellow roses because of their sheer beauty.

Growing up, my Mom had one whole side of our fenced yard, covered with Lilac bushes. I recall sitting under the bushes, with my dog, and closing my eyes and getting lost in their scent!

A little later in my life I discovered something amazing! Yellow Roses! I do not know why they captured my heart and soul, but they did, as soon as I saw them.

Those were my two favorite flowers until this this year, when I was introduced to the Hyacinth. My daughter sent me a fabulous bouquet with Hyacinths in it. Not only were they beautiful to look at, but their scent far surpassed my beloved Lilac!

What a wonderful gift to receive while recovering from two surgeries and trying to getting my feet back under me!

You know what is really wonderful? How special, loved, and cared for one feels after getting such a gorgeous surprise gift! It picked up my spirits and made me feel better almost instantly!

And one note here, after their arrival, almost every Nurse on my floor came in once or twice each shift to smell them. I started to joke that the first sniff was free, but after that it was 25 cents per sniff!

I am home and the flowers are still beautiful, and I am slowly getting better. I swear that the healing powers of flowers are truly quite strong.
