Corporate flowers send messages of confidence whether in an office, restaurant, hospital, doctor’s waiting room or hotel. The national flower of Hong Kong is the Bauhinia Blakeana and what better way to welcome tourists than to have a bouquet of these lovely flowers in your hotel foyer.
According to business experts, the key to gaining the competitive edge in today’s economy is easy to understand - a happy and productive workforce - and the use of corporate flowers and plants can help achieve this. Recent research at a University in Texas found that workers’ performance improved noticeably in workplace environments that included flowers and plants.
In this modern age, when businesses need every help to achieve success, we cannot afford to ignore the ancient art of Feng Shui which can bring balance and help increase the quality of work in the environment. For example, a vase or bouquet of flowers in the reception area of an office will welcome customers and improve the flow of beneficial Chi energy.
Lilies are considered one of the eight treasures of the world and are very favourable to use as a corporate flower as they can be a settling influence in, for example, a boardroom.
Sunflowers have fire energy and are a powerful stabilizing influence and a flower delivery of these will energise your surroundings for a more productive environment. Peonies and Amaryllis strengthen male energy, are emblems of loyalty and affection and are an omen of good fortune. The Narcissus, grown from bulbs and forced into bloom exactly at the New Year, will bring good luck for the next twelve months.
Having plants in the house or office is beneficial in many practical ways. Plants clean and freshen the air you breathe and bring positive energy to your surroundings. Living and working in such an environment improves your results.
Green is the colour of growth. Green plants reflect peace and harmony and will ease troubled minds. They alleviate all stress, and represent balance – especially good for doctor’s waiting rooms.
The shapes of the leaves of plants are also significant. Spiky plants can bring bad energy, but they can also reactivate areas of sluggish energy in the office by moving Chi around which is good. Round-leafed plants encourage good energy and bring good fortune. Jade plants or money trees are particularly auspicious. Jasmine and Gardenia are the plants of friendship and would be very good as welcoming flowers in a hotel or office reception area.
In a businesses’ quest for profit, it is important to recognise the work done by your staff and find opportunities to reward them with floral bouquets, for example:
- ‘Thank You’ flowers for jobs well done
- Retirement flowers for personnel retiring
- ‘Get Well’ flowers for staff members who are ill
There is no need to queue in a shop to order flowers, save time by contacting your online florist. Introduce corporate flowers into your business and watch them work for you – you won’t regret it.
