Flower Bathing: the practice of immersing one's senses in botanical flora and experiencing all of its positive and healthful benefits.
Okay, maybe flower bathing isn't technically a true scientific practice, but the Japanese DID practice "forest bathing," spending time in green spaces/forest and received the benefits of de-stressing their lives from such an activity.

I personally think it's just common sense. To be surrounded by nature, colors, perfume and to feel all the beautiful silky blossoms of the flowers; it's certainly going to feel like a mini-vacation and be refreshing to the mind and body. I think plants and trees were created to bring us pleasure. So with that in mind, I went to my favorite nursery for some much needed tomatoes, peppers and various flowers to fill out my collection at home.
While I was there, I engaged in enveloping my senses in the explosion of colors and drinking in the beauty of the place.
A new petunia; very fun, may have to come back for this one. |
This was tempting; but I went for the smaller ones... |
