Bosses, did you get the memo?  April 24-30 is Administrative Professionals Week also known as Professional Secretaries� Week.  It�s a time to recognize support staff for their contributions to the success of your company.  Research from Texas A&M University reveals that sending flowers or a plant can be �Just what the C-E-O ordered.�  Doctor Roger Ulrich, lead researcher:

�According to the research, people are able to generate more and better ideas when flowers and plants are prominent in their work surroundings.�

Rebecca Cole, author of Flower Power and host of Discovery Channel�s Surprise by Design, agrees.

�Giving flowers is a loud, proud, sophisticated way of saying �I appreciate all you do.�  they�re a great way to build a strong, lasting professional relationship.�
