German customs and people's feelings (about flowers)

Germans prefer to plant flowers outside the window facing the street. Almost every family has potted flowers, and some families also have indoor flower beds to plant woody and herbal flowers, and balconies and houses are also fully utilized to plant flowers and plants. Love nature, traditional two or three-story buildings are scattered on hillsides, fields, forests or rivers, and there are chic small gardens behind the front room of the building.

All kinds of flowers and plants are planted outside the doors and windows of every household in Germany (especially in small cities). In spring and summer, flowers are in full bloom and colorful, as if they had entered a sea of flowers.

However, the business of the flower shop is not affected at all. Germany ranks first in Europe in the number of flowers consumed each year. Flower shops can be found in cities, villages, towns, alleys and alleys at any time, and flowers bloom all year round. There are also many books introducing the kinds of flowers and plants in the bookstore.

In spring and summer, there are blue sky, white clouds and green grass, flowers are in full bloom and the natural environment is very beautiful. However, Germans still plant flowers and grass in their courtyards to green and beautify their small homes and surrounding environment.

Growing flowers has become a way of life and custom in Germany, and loving flowers stems from their pursuit of beauty and yearning for a better life.

Germans are not very keen on expensive flowers. Maybe it's just some simple flowers, but when the same kind of flowers are planted on the windowsill of the whole city, the charm is no less than those world-famous precious flowers.

Extended data

The characteristics of Germans growing flowers, their own flowers are for others to see. After the war, people's livelihood in Germany was depressed and the city was devastated. People can only use a large area of plants to cover up urban trauma, and also to soothe the trauma of the soul.

After the post-war reconstruction and the economy rushed to the expressway, various social problems followed. Many people are depressed and have nowhere to send, so planting flowers and grass spread further.

This strange phenomenon has created a scene in which all cities in Germany, big or small, have contiguous green grasslands and every household is thriving. Foreigners who have just arrived here are amazed and amazed, but the older generation of Germans know the bitterness and helplessness behind this prosperity. In the final analysis, the deeper level is the social and psychological problem of a stubborn nation.
