May Flowers
May is known for its blooming flowers due to April showers. In ancient
days the month of May coincided with the festival of Flora, the
Roman Goddess of flowers. In modern days May is more known for the
International Workers day (also known as Labour day), Mother's day,
Teacher's appreciation week and Stroke Awareness month. From an
economic perspective, Mother's day is a significant economic event
with a projection of 14.5 billion for 2010. The average spending
per mom for this year is projected at $155 and most of these money
have been spent at floral outlets, jewelery stores, restaurants
and spas. One interesting fact about the floral sales is - Mother's
day always beats Valentine's day in floral sales 'transaction' even
though both match equally in dollars! This means more moms are getting
flowers than valentines! What do you think? Is that good? Is that
what you expected? On the contrary, the economics behind Teacher's
appreciation week is very insignificant which highlights the importance
teachers receive in one's life.
