Party Petals:
When hosting a 4th of July party or other summer gatherings this month, it's a great idea to create fresh-flower gifts for your guests to take home:
- With a rubber band, bunch together 5-8 carnations for a pompom effect and put them in colorful plastic cups and place throughout the party. Guests can conveniently take the home.
- Create one or several of the fun and festive flower recipes from flowerpossibilities.com and use them as giveaway prizes for party games.
- If hosting a more formal summer gathering, simply place a beautiful bud or two in a water tube or bud vase next to each guest's place setting.

 Researchers at Harvard University and Massachusetts General Hospital confirmed that study participants reported being happier and more energetic after seeing flowers first thing in the morning, especially in the kitchen. The overall study results showed that flowers positively impact people emotionally at home, causing them to feel less anxious and more compassionate. Participants even reported a boost of energy that lasted through the day.
