Bringing Cheers to the Sick

Flowers are a great way to let someone who is ill, or just feeling blue, know you're thinking of her, even if you can't visit her in person. They're not only a terrific way to brighten up a hospital room, but can ease the loneliness of recovering at home.

Behavioral research has shown the presence of flowers triggers happy emotions, heightens feelings of life satisfaction and affects social behavior in a positive manner far beyond what is normally believed.

Flowers are a simple, sincere and unobtrusive way to lift spirits, bring a smile to a tired face or brighten up a room for someone who is under the weather. In fact, they might be just the trick to cheer someone up. 
 

Ordering Tips 
If you order flowers to be delivered to a hospital, it's helpful to have the following information ready : name of the hospital, patient's name, room number and when you want the flowers delivered. It is also good to know if the hospital has a policy regarding flowers. For instance, most urgent care and intensive care units do not allow flowers. Sometimes hospital rooms have certain display areas for flowers, but they must be a specified size.
