When I think of Valentine's Day, I always picture a slickly dressed man with a box of chocolate under one arm and a HUGE bouquet of red roses in the other hand. I don't even want to image in my head, it is involuntarily there, thanks Hallmark. But there is still hope for those of you that haven't ordered your roses.
Personally, I like roses but if I am going to have something in the house, especially in February (dreary winter!) I want cheery, whimsy, Spring-like flowers. Go to Costco. No joke. You can get a mixed bunch, you can get two garden bunches and mix them together, or for a huge effect, buy ten. For instance, I guarantee, if you aren't there by opening Friday or Saturday, you will probably not get those sought after roses BUT think of what your gal would like. I personally love hydrangeas and peonies. For some reason my husband has always thought I am a daisy girl. NOT SO! (maybe he will read this and it might get through, not that I am complaining about receiving flowers). So boys, do your homework, have some flowers in mind, even yellow roses mixed with the twigs or tulips Costco sells as a bundle. And, to make it all the sweeter, a heartfelt love letter. Really. We are not that mysterious. And, more thought goes into finding just the right bunch of flowers, than the red rose - although if her favorite flower is the red rose, you should have planned ahead.

I had to spell it out to my husband that I prefer a wild bunch of mixed flowers over a dozen red roses any day of the week. He honestly didn't know. Guys need to be taught! :-)
You actually posted my all time fav flower! Peonies. I bought some in December and they were the perfect Christmas flower....right?!
I'll second the motion that you can never go wrong with flowers! Add a box of milk chocolate and you've got a sure winner! It's really quite simple :)
Christy, agreed, husbands need constant teaching. April, peonies are the perfect flower anytime, I grew up with them in our backyard and only remember that before they opened they had this sticky sweet nectar on them. Suzana - flowers and sweets, perfect.
Costco does have great flowers. I often buy bunches of them just because.
