Flowers.

Recently, my mother received bunches of flowers for her birthday. 

This got me thinking about flowers, their importance to us, to earth. 

Would you believe…there are men who think that flowers are a waste of garden space? This, of course, gets me huffed up, jumping on to my soapbox and lecturing them about the importance of flowers to the birds, the bees and all the other insects. 

We two-legged critters need them also. Simply by being around them, they soothe us, help to reduce stress, anxiety, lower blood pressure. Can you imagine our world without the fragrance and beauty of flowers? As John Denver used to sing, their loveliness can cheer a cloudy day.

Flowers heal us physically too. They help us sleep, fight off infection; they’re good for digestion, for soothing away pain and can treat circulation problems. The anti-inflammatory properties of certain flowers are well-known in the herbal healing world. 

Hmm. See where I’m going with flowers and business? The flower industry is massive, yet there can never be enough people in this business, and the potential to earn from one niche only is huge.

Yes! The possibilities are endless! Go on, give it a try.

I’ll be sharing some ideas in the money list soon! Check back later…
