Why Flowers Make Us Happy

Flowers can only make you happy by triggering your happy brain chemicals.

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/your-neurochemical-self/201706/why-flowers-make-us-happy

After I read the article I got to thinking, If the chemicals in flowers make people happy, then the sensation center of the brain must be linked to chemicals in DNA that were the best to form life from during the early beginnings of life in the Universe.

Something else is telling me that the same chemicals in flowers that make us happy and are connected to our DNA, might also point in the direction of locations in the Universe were life might exist or has planets with flowers on it that would make humans the happiest. The reason being is that the same chemicals found in the flowers that we like here on Earth should also be present on alien worlds where aliens also developed due to chemicals found in their flowers that made them happy.

Developing a tracking system in, space, to determine which chemicals that are present in flowers that humans like that might be present in space, like a stream, could set us on a path to locate regions of space that are enjoyable for humans along with planets that would have life on them.

Regions of space where the light that we see would be similar to the colors of the best smelling flowers that humans like, rather all flowers that humans like.

Think like a Honey Bee and you might find a habitable new world.

What chemicals in flowers can be linked to chemicals in human DNA that are both attributable to liking and growing?

After all humans don't like the smell of s*^t for a reason. That's why humans aren't attracted to life less rocks. But like a tree to the honey bee, those moons and planets without life on them can be made into a home to further explore and gather honey from to expand the colony.

What are your thoughts or opinions?
 
Wow...this is pretty delusional. For most of Earth's history, flowers did not exist.

Chances are nearly all alien worlds with life don't have producers with flowers. There were forests LONG before flowers first appeared... I'd ignore how they showed Betazed on TNG.

As for the article, I don't think you really understand what the article is talking about.
 
Interesting.
I remember as a young child really enjoying picking flowers to give to people. (Mostly my mom, because I was 3.)
As a teenager, I endured long lectures that it was wrong, sexist, patriarchal and just plain evil to give flowers to women.

Fortunately, I met women who were less political and married one of them.
But, it's nice to know that science has now backed up the common sense position of my 3 year old self:
Giving flowers to people is a nice thing to do!

I ask when you buy a flower. Did you pick the flower or did the flower pick up? I want to point out the flower's DNA pick the shape , color , and smell of the flower before you pick the flower. So I ask who pick who first the flower or you?
