When sending flowers in Bulgaria, do you have to send odd flowers?

Sending flowers has become the main form of blessing everywhere. So when sending flowers in Bulgaria, why do you have to send odd flowers? It turns out that every place has its own customs. In China, we prefer yes-men and have an abnormal preference for even numbers. In Bulgaria, they don't like even numbers, and even flowers should pay attention to odd numbers. Today, let's learn about this strange custom in Bulgaria!

In most European countries, the United States and some eastern countries, sending flowers symbolizes happiness, yes, man. It is said that Israelis send even numbers of flowers, but they don't send flowers to funerals. Georgians also believe that even-numbered flowers can bring them good luck. Even numbered flowers represent lovers, which is a perfect combination. It is also meaningful for them to present flowers to the dead. I hope they won't take this good luck away.

In our eastern countries, we like even numbers very much, and even numbers are required for ordering and sending flowers. We prefer numbers like 6, 8, 9, 10. Although 4 is an even number, it is considered unlucky on our side. 13 still has a lifetime meaning here, which is also very good. In western countries, the number 13 is also taboo. For example, they won't build a building with 13 floors, and we won't have 14 floors.

Every place has its own customs. What we need to do is to respect culture and do as the Romans do. For example, if you go to a country, you'd better check the information first to see the taboos in this country, what you can't eat and what you should eat, instead of blindly imposing your own customs on others so as not to bring a burden to others. This concludes today's discussion. I hope everyone must respect other people's cultures!
