Valentine's Day Flowers: What Do They Really Mean?
As florists across the country make last minute deliveries, and people rush into grocery stores and other flower shops for that last minute bouquet, get a little creative and think beyond the dozen red roses!
Flowers For Valentine’s Day
Red Roses – They are the most popular, and the best bet, when choosing flowers for your loved one. Red roses signify true love. But red roses tend to seem like an uninspired gift (how many red roses can you give year after year?). Think outside the dozen red roses, your Valentine may appreciate it!
Tulips – These are the flowers Glendora Florist owner Dalel Snider called “the forgotten flowers.” Tall, poised, yet dainty, these flowers represent a lover’s heart, filled with the heat of passion.
Daisies – Delicate, but with bursts of color, daisies mean innocence, purity and cheerfulness. Daisies are a great gift for someone who exudes so much joy.

If there is a monument to Civil War soldiers in your community, you might think about leaving a bouquet of flowers or a wreath at its base. Or if the local memorial has been overgrown and is in disrepair, organize a community group to spruce it up.
