Why?
Thanks friiskiwi for attention.
Honestly -- I don't know, but ask anyone with Russian "roots" they would tell you the same. To the person still alive you should put odd number of flowers in bouquet.
:S didn't know that...
Thanks.
O.k. I've had some spare time and did a search about this. Got curious myself.
Bouquets must have an odd number of flowers. Thus, never give 4, 6, 8 flowers to a person. Explanation: bouquets with even numbers are for funeral ceremonies or cemeteries;http://traditionsacrosseurope.wordpress.com/2009/11/11/romanian-superstitions/
On one Russian forum somebody explained it as superstition probably coming from Japan, where numvber 4 is sound like "she" = death.
