Q. What is the story of Valentine’s Day?
A. The origin story of Valentine’s Day could not be more romantic. In Rome, around 269 AD, Saint Valentine was secretly performing marriages for soldiers, against the wishes of Emperor Claudius II who felt it would weaken the young men. Arrested and imprisoned, the saint fell in love with the jailer’s daughter, and before he was executed on February 14, he sent her a love note signed “Your Valentine.” Whether the legend is true or not, St. Valentine became known as a martyr for love, and the holiday is celebrated all around the world.
In the fifth century, Pope Gelasius made St. Valentine’s Day official, and in the 14th century, knights began making chivalrous gestures of courtly love to ladies in the form of cards and gifts on February 14th. Geoffrey Chaucer immortalizes Valentine’s Day in his poem “Parliament of Foules,” believed to be the first written record of its association with romance. He describes a flock of birds who choose their mates for the year on “seynt valentynes day.”
FAQ about Valentine’s Day
Q. Why roses are considered a symbol of Valentine’s Day?
A. It wasn’t until the 1700s that roses, an ancient flower from East Asia, started to make their way to Europe. Red roses in particular began to be offered on Valentine’s Day, as they were associated with Isis, Aphrodite and Venus, the ancient goddesses of love. Red roses with their thorns symbolize enduring romantic love; that love can be both painful and everlasting.

Q. What is the best gift for a girlfriend on Valentine’s?
A. The best gift is flowers. That is simple and easy answer. If she is your girlfriend and you already passed the “unsure” point and said words of love. then almost any of our floral arrangements with addition of chocolates, stuffed toys or spirits would work. However if you have not yet exchanged the L word, and only hoping to do so soon, we would recommend to avoid red roses or roses only arrangements. Reserve to mixed flowers in pinks, purples, peach and yellow colors such as “Garden Mix” or “Lavender Romance” , though our first choice will be our “Bunch of tulips”. Meaning of tulip is first love or in love, it is very romantic flower that represents hope and tenderness, so by far is a best choice for budding romance.
