    None. If I get flowers, they will be tulips because they are my favorite. My husband and I don't really do Valentines Day. A day marked on the calendar and promoted by Hallmark and FTD are not as important as some Tuesday that we are just thinking of one another while out running errands and get a card, or flowers, or a treat.

    Not a one, but I'm allergic to flowers anyway, so I'll try not to be too sad about it.

    None, but I'm not pulling down numbers in the US. Btw, does sending some from JA's shop count into your balance? Should we ask her for a special Valentine's Day gift, including roses? This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at February 9, 2017 7:47 PM MST

    Stems of roses? No. If I buy anything they had better have flowers on them.
