Beautiful image. Seeing all of those spring flowers makes me happy. I can remember being so happy when my DB brought home a bag of Gladiola bulbs. That made me happy...all summer. :)

February 15th is my 36th wedding anniversary. I didn't choose the date because of its proximity to Valentines Day. Presidents Day fell on the 16th that year making it convenient for our families to travel from the east coast and midwest to San Francisco. We had a really small budget and the flowers were very important to me. I was horrified when the florist told me I had chosen the most expensive week-end of the year. She was fabulous though -- instead of purchasing expensive throw away arrangements, we used her extensive collection of antique wicker and potted ferns. The only large arrangement was my spectacular bouquet -- it had flowering branches in it!

There is a man who knows his partner!

Ferns in wicker baskets must have been beautiful. And flowering branches! I splurged on my bouquet as well. But for the restaurant where we got married and had our reception, I bought flowers at the Farmers Market the morning of the wedding and a gardening friend arranged them for me.

Yes! For awhile Andrew made a point of buying me flowers at anytime EXCEPT Valentines Day. I think he understands now that's not the right answer either.

I much prefer a flowering plant for the garden than a bouquet for the vase.

I couldn't agree with you more! Why wait for a special occasion to 'say it with flowers?'

Flowers are always a nice gift but at my house they usually get neglected. A nice agave or cactus on the other hand...
