That’s right, Valentine’s Day is less than a week away! I’ve been putting up some Valentine’s ideas on this blog from restaurants, limo rentals, and recipes. So today I want to talk about flowers. I know it sounds cliche’ but you can’t lose with flowers, trust me, I know! Before we got married I told, or rather ‘warned’ my husband never to send me flowers. They cost too much and they die, those were my reasonings. Well, being the gentleman that he is, he lived up to that warning for nearly 10 years. Last year he broke down and sent me flowers, fully expecting the wrath that would follow. I was thrilled to have gotten the flowers! They were beautiful, and the feeling you feel when you get them is beyond words, even for an old ‘anti-flower’ girl like me. Let’s just say, the warning has been lifted, and he’s welcome to send me flowers anytime he wants to!

I know, dumb long story, but I wanted to point out that just because your Valentine may say ‘no’ to flowers, it won’t be how she feels when she gets them. At 1800flowers.com you can find a HUGE assortment of flowers, baskets and even fair trade gifts for valentines. The following is the Sweetheart Rose bouquet with 36 roses…pass it on to the Chef for me!!
