Send Flowers for St Valentine's Day

St Valentines Day is celebrated on the 14th day of February.

Saint Valentine's Day, commonly called Valentine's Day celebrates love and affection between two people. It is traditionally by exchanging gifts such as flowers, chocolates and sending greeting cards.

Valentine's Day first became associated with romantic love in the times of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished.

In todays modern times, Valentine's Day is still celebrated by the traditional gift giving of flowers and chocolates, usually delivered to the home or workplace of the recipient. Valentine's Day can also include other romantic activities such as a romantic candle lit dinner, either at home or an upscale restaurant, a romantic picnic, a romantic getaway or romantic surprise.

Red Roses on St Valentines Day

Red roses traditionally represent love and passion, making them ideal flowers to send on Valentines Day.

Also consider different coloured roses and there meanings - you may find something unique to your relationship.
