New scientific research has shown that flowers really could be the way to a womans heart, according to an article published by the Daily Mail.

Conducted by Dr Nicolas Gueguen, a psychologist from the University of South Brittany with a specific focus on research in the science of attraction, the research looked at the results of a number of studies.

One of these studies saw 46 female volunteers placed in a room on their own. They then, one-by-one, viewed a video of a man speaking about himself. Half of the participants sat in a room containing flowers - specifically roses, marigolds and daisies - whilst the others sat in the same room without any flowers.

Those that watched the video surrounded by flowers stated that they found the man more attractive and would be more likely to go out with him.

Dr Gueguen commented on the results of his study; he said: "These results confirm the popular conception that flowers are able to activate romance and act as a facilitator in dating."

The research has been published in the Psychology Press.
