The main health benefits are in regards to mental health including mood changes.
In 2021 an experiment was done asking the question of what psychological benefits flowers have. The scientists conducting the study took 50 people and had them look at three different color roses, red, white and yellow, for three minutes and kept track of neurological activity. The responses from the participants and the neurological readings showed that the red and yellow flowers improved the moods of the participants and that the yellow roses had the largest impact. Having multicolored flowers in the home could affect people the same way. This study suggests that colorful flowers may boost the mood of homeowners, which is great for those who struggle with disorders like depression or even just people having a bad day.
