For Your Sweetie

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner! Flowers and Chocolates seem to be a must for the ladies.  To stay in touch and not too cliche, consider mixing It up a bit.

Roses are lovely and all, but know that in this month, Roses are mass produced and usually not at their best. These lovely winter blooms are a sweet alternative.

Ranunculus. My personal favorite.  A tiny bloom, with a big impact. Layer and layers of petals in a beautiful array of colors.

 Amaryllis. Pick up this bloom either as a fresh cut flower or as a planted bulb. The fresh cut stems for an immediate statement or the bulb for a longer, suspenseful wait.

Orchids. Clean. Long lasting. Dramatic.

And don't forget the sweets...

How about some fancy French Macaroons?
