Gardening expert David Domoney set out to do an informal study in three months to discover which plants inspired feelings of positivity.

Orchids
Funny and almost sculptural, orchids are one of life's most accessible luxuries. They also bloom throughout the year, giving a touch of color that improves mood during the darkest days of winter. Perhaps this is why Feng Shui practitioners use orchids to increase positive energy in a room.

Rosemary
Historically, rosemary has symbolized many things, from memories to inner peace. We suspect that the connection is made through the lovely aroma of needles, which reminds us of sunny days.

Sweet or sweet peas
These magnificent flowers also rated high in the Domoney survey for a reason similar to the Lilies of the valley. Respondents stated that seeing Sweet Peas triggers happy childhood memories.

Basil
This culinary herb improves mood (as well as improves a recipe). The positive effects come from linalool, a compound found in the plant that brings the delicious aroma of the plant.
