Thank you again for all the support from our local community. We had a very productive and enjoyable Valentines Day (Week). We had amazing roses, tulips, sunflowers,hydrangeas, carnations, lilies, and so much more. My favorite part is looking at all the beautiful colors, flowers, in mass. After processing them, hydration, and cooling. It’s awe inspiring to see the beauty of the flowers in my cooler, awaiting to be designed and delivered to each and every customer that receives them. I can’t help to get excited about where they will end up, in whose order they will be designed in, which container they will be placed, and what the card message will say.
I never in a lifetime thought that I’d be a floral designer/shop owner.
When asked “what do you want to be when you grow up?” The answer was a wife, and Mom. (Which I have 3 amazing adult people I was given to raise and now Grammy to the most amazing 5 little’s anyone could wish for)
I started this Floral journey I am on February 1, 2000. I had my 1st Valentines Day, and thought oh no.. what did I get myself into???
Here I am 24 years later, just did my 25th Valentine’s Day. I still am driven by the excitement, anticipation, and love of what I have accomplished.
Thank you for choosing us (me) to serve your floral needs, in the best community we could possibly live in.

More on the history of Valentines Day.

Valentine's Day today is a sweet day of reds, pinks and purples, boxes of chocolate, and roses. Schoolchildren craft cute boxes to collect valentines from classmates, while we plan romantic dinners and exchange sentimental gifts with our one and only. But the holiday's history is a bit more complicated.

While there's plenty of evidence that just make sense for the holiday – like how over 8 billion candy hearts are produced every year! – there are some truths that aren't as sweet.
To give you a sneak peak into the history of Valentine's Day, centuries ago, people celebrated by sacrificing animals to encourage fertility!!!!
It wasn't until the 1300s that it became an official holiday associated with love.

The mid-19th century marked the beginning of many of the commercialized Valentine's Day traditions we know today. Victorian men wooed women with flowers, Richard Cadbury created the first heart-shaped box of chocolates, and the New England Confectionery Company, or Necco, began stamping out an early version of Conversation Hearts. Also around this time, the "Mother of the American Valentine" Esther Howland, only in her early 20s, popularized store-bought English-style valentines in America thanks to her innovative assembly line process that made the elaborate cards affordable.

By the early 1910s, an American company that would one day become Hallmark began distributing its more official "Valentine's Day cards." The rest, of course, is history.

Giving red roses may be an obvious romantic gesture today, but it wasn't until the late 17th century that giving flowers became a popular custom. In fact, the practice can be traced back to when King Charles II of Sweden learned the "language of flowers" — which pairs different flowers with specific meanings — on a trip to Persia, and subsequently introduced the tradition to Europe. The act of giving flowers then became a popular trend during the Victorian Era — including on Valentine's Day — with red roses symbolizing deep love.

Sharing some tidbets of valentine’s history…..

Where does the name Valentine come from?

The holiday is aptly named after Saint Valentine, but who exactly was he?

Valentine is likely based on a combination of two Valentines who were executed on February 14 in different years by Roman Emperor Claudius II in the 3rd century.

Legend says that one of these men, Saint Valentine of Terni, had officiated weddings for Roman soldiers in secret, going against the emperor's wishes.

There was a mid-February fertility festival in ancient Roman called Lupercalia.
Dedicated to the Roman god of agriculture, Faunas, and Roman founders Romulus and Remus, this feast of debauchery involved a ritual where an order of Roman priests ran naked through the streets, "gently slapping" women with the blood-soaked hides of sacrificed animals (yes, really), which they believed promoted fertility. Later, notes Britannica.com, the women would be paired off with men "by lottery."
Wowzers! Now that woke you up!
