Stash this video away and when you're having a bad day, watch it. The Flower Council of Holland launched a sweet video called "The Flower Effect" to show the positive influence that flowers have on people and to promote fresh flowers from Holland to the U.K., France, Germany and the Netherlands. The video stars Sophie, a quirky young woman who reminds me of Audrey Tautou's character in the movie "Amelie." Sophie loves popping bubble wrap -- who doesn't -- and people-watching in the park. While her attention is elsewhere, someone has left a beautiful bouquet of flowers beside her. She believes they are from her crush and rushes over to his house, only to have him shut the door in her face. Sad and dejected, she walks the city and is comforted by strangers. Sophie then decides to spread the flower love by leaving the bouquet beside an unsuspecting man. See the ad here, created by Kingsday.
