Even number of flowers in bouquet allowed only to funerals. (5 years and 3726 days ago)

Why?

author says:

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.

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.
