What can be more romantic than sending a single red rose stem or a floral bouquet to someone you love on Valentine’s Day to show love and affection?

The tradition of sending flowers on Valentine’s Day dates back many, many years. St Valentine is depicted as being the saint of lovers. February 14th is the day dedicated to this Saint in the United Kingdom, America and many European countries.

The Victorians used Valentine’s Day and the sending of flowers as a coded ‘message’ to lovers or those to whom they were attracted. The surprise and intrigue for Victorian women was to try and decipher the code and who sent the flowers; those who thought they were admired and failed to receive a Valentine’s Day gift of flowers would become distraught and despaired! This tradition lives on for millions people-they eagerly await a delivery of flowers only to be desperately disappointed if there wishes are not brought to fruition. Wives, husbands, partners and lovers feel neglected and rejected if they do not receive a Valentine’s gift on February 14th.

The ease of ordering flowers and gifts for Valentine’ Day online provides little in the way of excuses for those who forget! A bunch of flowers grabbed from the supermarket or petrol station on the way home has no comparison with those which are brought from a florists for many women and men. Careful and thoughtful flowers arranged and presented by skilled florists are the only acceptable type of Valentine’s flowers in many people’s eyes!

Flamboyant bouquets, the bigger the better, are becoming popular ways to show affection and admiration, especially when delivered to workplaces. Large bouquets containing the same flower type, typically red roses, will provide a very ‘showy’ and ostentatious declaration of love and affection for all to admire.
