Local florist comes up roses for this year’s Valentine’s Day

No-one wants to be friend-zoned on Valentine’s Day.

Sarah Harris, owner of Yadkin Flower and Gift, prepares an arrangement for Valentine’s Day.

“We’re getting orders in and the deliveries are going to the workplace (on Friday) because you want to show (the arrangement) off”. You can knock your lover out with affection by picking her up for a Valentine’s day dinner.

Clements also said the recent closure of other flower shops in the Ronaoke Valley has led to an influx of business at his shop. “It’s pretty much like cramming two-months-worth of work into one week”.

The red roses were grown 2,800 metres above sea level in the mountain ranges of Ecuador, near a small town called Machachi in the Andes.

“They’re something good and positive in this day and time – to receive flowers is so cheery and happy”. Pay attention to bouquet costs when it’s not a floral holiday so that you have a baseline before prices increase.

It’s more than just the flower shops that are continuously working around the clock. On the left is the online flower pic you see and on the right is more of what you actually get.

The best seller, she said, continues to the turtle chocolates and meltaways. And if you’ve got a spare £111k lying around, why not spend it on 100 roses, Cristal an iPad and a Tesla P85D luxury electric vehicle?

The florist said they did order roughly 15 percent fewer of the non-rose flowers such as lilies and tulips.

Gilmore said a contributing factor includes roses being used at the end of the year for holiday events that include the Rose Parade on New Year’s Day in California.

Dining out: A romantic Valentine’s Day dinner at one of your favorite restaurants requires both planning ahead – sometimes weeks ahead for reservations – and a big billfold.

Employees at the Matthews’ Dale Florists and Gifts are in their 59th year of supplying local Valentine’s Day customers and say they have been selling out their freshly stocked roses daily. It also says the average amount spent on Valentine’s Day is $150.

But in addition to the beauty (and emotion) that flowers, and more specifically roses, bring, there are also hidden meanings in them that can help you decide what color pattern or how many flowers to send to your loved ones. We strive to accentuate creativity and make a great effort to keep our prices affordable so that all can partake in enjoying the beauty that plants and flowers provide. Niko’s is closed on Sunday, but he said they are nearly booked-up for Saturday’s pre-Valentine’s Day dinners.

Gigi Pickett, co-owner of Four Seasons Florist in Hattiesburg, said she is filling “many” orders.
