This past week, I’ve been getting calls at the shop asking about specials on Valentine flowers. People are starting to shop around for the best deals.

If you plan on sending flowers for Valentine’s day, I’ve got an important suggestion…

Order early. You will save more, avoid possible disappointment, and insure timely delivery. Here’s why.

• Valentine’s Day is the No. 1 holiday for florists.
• Valentine’s Day also ranks first for the most fresh flower purchases.
• In 2011, twenty-three percent of adults purchased flowers or plants as gifts for Valentine’s Day

As you can see, it’s a very busy day for florists.
