Russia has very peculiar customs. This time we will dedicate ourselves especially to one, which refers to the curious tradition of giving away an odd number of flowers.
To understand this tradition we must go back to the origin of the Arab legend. According to the story, Allah expelled one of the angels from paradise for falling in love with a woman. Allah maintained that He would forgive him only if he planted the Forget-me-not flower all over the world. Fate after such a virtuous feat allowed the fallen angel to meet his love. Together they began to plant Nomeolvides.
With the passage of time, the couple in love began to burn out as a result of so much work. And exhaustion killed them. Allah took pity on seeing this sacrifice of love, and decided to take this loving couple to Paradise. The flowers went on to become a symbol of divine feelings and will.
In Russia it is customary give flowers in odd number: 1, 3, 5, 7 ... Since even numbers are reserved exclusively for funeral bouquets.
And as it happens in other parts of the world, give away flowers It is a very nice thing, especially to a lady on the first date.
