Why Flowers Are So Addicting

By Myra Webb

Self-adornment using flowers was quite prevalent before people began to flaunt metal jewellery. Colourful and perfumed flowers have been serving the objective of beautifying people for ages. In almost all major civilizations that the world has witnessed, there is evidence of females and sometimes even men wearing flowers in their hair.

Every flower has its own unique fragrance. Humans have identified flowers according to different emotions or states of mind and also to different events that the flowers best represent, and to a great extent this has been determined by their scent and looks. As many perfumes have been created by perfume manufacturers as there are types of flowers, and the distinctiveness and fine differences among flowers' fragrances have given the industry limitless opportunities for many new products. But nowadays, artificial perfumes created from synthetic ingredients are replacing the old perfumes that contained the purest fragrances of real flowers.

The scent of flowers is significant not just because they can be sealed in perfume vials. Flowers have served as fabulous gifts for people by virtue of their fragrance and elegant appearance. A room made fragrant by flowers can create a positive atmosphere and can cheer an individual. To a seasoned florist, the true quality of good bouquets is that they should appeal to both the eyes and the sense of smell of the recipient. Similarly for any ceremonial occasion, people use flowers extensively so that the surroundings emanate a naturally pleasant fragrance.

Sadly, researchers have always focused all their attempts towards the development of beautiful flowers that wither slowly, with peripheral consideration for fragrance. Other innovations in technology, such as genetic alteration of plants have hastened this pursuit. For example, carnations and roses today are picture-perfect, and stay like new for several days, but sadly they have lost the fragile scent that was once a key part of their attraction.

Hence, these days you have to carefully check the scent of flowers before buying them. Whether you are having bouquets made or purchasing flowers in large volumes for a marriage or any other ceremony, it is important that you take the advice of a reputed and well established florist in the market.

To locate a good florist in Singapore you can either do some quick research on the internet or ask people about who has been in the business for quite some time now. Another way of choosing a florist is that you go with a flower outlet representing a well known brand. Companies doing big business will never compromise on quality or service, and so it is a good idea to approach them, especially if you are going for a large quantity purchase. - 32376
