Flowers have historically been used in various cultural fields due to their beauty. Also, they enrich our lives by giving us comfort in our everyday lives. But people's preference for flowers are very subjective, so an objective analysis of verification of the connection between actual demand and purchase of the flowers is needed. This study aims to predict the characteristics of flower consumption by the preferences of the groups according to the analysis of the ideological perception of flower beauty by quantitative method. The scope of the study is to survey the people's preference of flowers and purchase patterns based on flower gifts. As a research method, general perceptions and purchase patterns of the flower's aesthetic elements are investigated through surveys by the general public and expert groups. With this, the cognitive characteristics of common flowers are revealed and the possibility to quantify each cluster is predicted by substituting it into a formative corolla analysis module which is deducted from the previous study by the researcher. First, the results show the possibility that the conceptual beauty of flowers can be measured by the formative element of their shape and colour. Second, as a result of the integrated analysis module of the formative corolla, the rose shape and sunflower shape appeared the most, as clearly confirmed that in general the distinction of the front of flowers is a circle(FC), the side of flowers is a wine cup(SW), and the rachis aspect is a single flower(RO). In terms of colour, it was confirmed that the colour contrast factor was distinctive. Third, it is confirmed that roses are highly popular not only as a cultural and symbolic meaning but also as a commodity and marketability. Fourth, as products, flowers are only made as bouquets and flower baskets. Therefore, diversification seems to be needed. I expect that the results of this study will expand our perception of flowers and will be used as a practical basic quantified data for researching the flower market, and furthermore, diversify the species of flowers in the market.
