In a small study appearing in Evolutionary Psychology in 2005, Rutgers University researchers found that 100 percent of women smiled with a Duchenne smile after receiving a mixed bouquet of flowers. A Duchenne smile, first named by a French physician, involves use of muscles at the corner of the mouth and by the eyes; it signifies genuine, positive emotions.

Control groups received either a fruit basket or a large candle. Ninety percent of the fruit-receivers used a real smile and only 77 percent of candle-receivers smiled with a Duchenne smile. In addition, only those who received flowers reported a lasting, positive mood days later.

In an elevator study carried out by the same researchers, men or women alone in an elevator with two experimenters were presented with a large Gerber daisy, a pen or nothing. The researchers derived a total social score (TSS) by recording the type of smile, initiated talk (other than a thanks), and standing distance from the experimenters (usually strangers in an elevator retreat to opposite corners). The results showed that both men and women had higher TSS scores when receiving the Gerber daisy as compared to the pen-receivers and those who got nothing.

It never ceases here at Century City Flower Market, in fact its hard to quell the creative juices when surrounded by so much pliable beauty each and every day.  One of our more recent creations dreamt up by one of our designers is appropriately entitled the “Ready-Set-Go” Bouquet. It consists of a dozen of our gorgeous roses, picked from our pristine assortment delivered fresh to the shop every day. I’m watching Wayne, designer extraordinaire, create one of these convenient yet beautiful bouquets as I type. He picks a dozen “sentimental pink” roses, arranges them in a ti leaf rosette, pauses to help a customer buy a contemporary nickel and copper plated vase, and comes back to bring it all together. He perches a $24.99 tag on it and gently place it in the fridge.

Its patiently sitting, waiting for you to come and swoop it away, to do what all flowers dream of one day doing, brightening someones day.

Specifically the annual sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is the flower most people picture when they think of a sunflower. Sunflowers are a favorite for many people because of their beautiful range of colors, showy size and generally happy (and sunshine-y!) appearance.

Sunflowers are great in flower arrangements because they are large and showy, but also because they are hearty with thick stems that stand up well in a vase.

Sunflowers, even within the single classification of Helianthus annuus show a wide variety of colors, shapes and uses. A sunflower can range from the bright, cheerful yellow that is most commonly recognized, to chocolate brown and even purple shades. In addition to a wide variation in color, sunflowers are also recognizable for their potential to grow very large – up to 20 feet tall and with a bloom over two feet in diameter, according to Gardeners Net.

Being native to Central American and found wild as far north as Tennessee in the USA, the sunflower is obviously a hearty plant that can be grown easily with moderate care. Sunflowers usually bloom in late summer, so expect to have flowers starting mid-July or later and often lasting until September.

Sunflowers have a very special property called heliotropism, which just means that as it grows, the sunflower turns its face to the sun throughout the day. In the morning, the sunflower’s bud faces east to catch the rays of the rising sun and by nightfall, the bloom is facing west to capture the last sunshine as the sun sets.

Now that you know all about these sunny summer barons come in and see for yourself just how much a beautiful sunflower arrangement from Century City Flower Market can brighten your day.
