Eli5: Why do people love being gifted flowers – not in a pot, but as a bouquet?

492 views

I always feel kind of sad for the flowers, who, just because they are beautiful, have to end up dying to express love. So I’m wondering what about it do people find attractive? Why not in a large pot? Why does it have to be in a bouquet?

It symbolises you cutting the flowers off and giving tgem to the person as a gift. If youre in a field of flowers you wont start digging one out of the ground and putting it into a pot you conveniently got with you. This ritualised cutting off of flowers because youre thinking of them is why we gift bouquets
