Valentine's Day! It's Almost Here!

Valentine's Day is just around the corner! We have lots of cute bears, albums, cards, balloons, frames and of course FLOWERS!

Red roses are always a favorite! Did you know the red rose was the favorite flower of Venus, the Roman goddess of love? The color red stands for strong romantic feelings making the red rose the flower of love.

Another favorite for Valentine's Day- Tulips!
How about some other Valentines Day flower facts?

• 73% of people who buy flowers for Valentine's Day are men, while only 27 percent are women.

Red roses are not your only option! We have roses in other colors as well, plus other arrangements.

One last tid bit of information. Did you know the cost of roses for florists from the growers increases almost 100% the week before Valentine's Day!? So when you notice that roses are a bit more expensive on Valentine's Day, it's not because we think we can make some fast money! It's because the roses actually cost us more to get.
