With Valentine's Day coming right up on February 14th, romance is in
the air. For men, women,
and rotund winged cherubs
alike, it's the time
for expressing our love
and affection for those
who are most important
to us. And naturally
enough, sending flowers
is one of the best romance
ideas of all.
Surveys conducted by the Society of American Florists indicate that 84% of
women remember the last
time they got flowers.
So guys, if you want
to make a lasting impression
on your romantic partner,
flowers are a clear
choice. Perhaps surprisingly,
the same SAF surveys
showed that men place
a high value on romance;
more than 85% believe
that simple romantic
gestures — such as giving
flowers — are important
to a relationship.

Saying "I love you" has become a fundamental
sign of masculinity as men are becoming
emotional heroes as well as action heroes.
A clue to the ladies: your men enjoy
receiving flowers too!
Flowers, of course, are
the universal symbol of romance...an
idea which has long withstood the test
of time. They touch the hearts of all
of us. And we all know that roses are
the most romantic flowers of all. Your
professional florist can offer you lots
of choices among roses this year; check
out the new variety, "Red Intuition",
which features clear red petals flecked
with darker red markings....and exotic
looking beauty! Or the dramatic "Black
Magic", with luxurious, velvety petals
in a dark burgundy hue.
Beyond the traditional roses, bouquets
of fresh spring flowers can present
more possibilities for romance ideas.
Tulips, freesia, iris, daffodils and
hyacinths are abundant at this time
of year and can bring a bright burst
of color to the hearts of your loved
ones. Many of these blossoms are sweetly
fragranced as well. Ask your florist
to include a rose or two in the arrangement,
or send it along with a small box of
candy or a cuddly teddy bear to underscore
your romantic message. Consider sending
your flowers early in the week — especially
if they're being delivered to a place
of work — so they can be admired and
enjoyed for several days more. That
will help ensure a timely delivery,
avoiding the last-minute crunch of Valentine's
Day itself, and ratchetting up the "envy
factor" among your beloved's co-workers......public
pronouncements of love are always effective.
