The tradition of giving flowers on Valentines Day is rumoured to have originated from Persia in the 17th century, and was later introduced into Europe by Charles II of Sweden.
As an ancient symobl of love, red roses have become the most popular Valentines Day flower, although tulips, carnations and hyacinths are also popular.
Our next day flowers service has dozens of beautiful bouquets for all occasions. Choose pretty pinks and reds for Valentines Day - a dozen pink roses or a single red rose make an ideal gift.
You can choose by colour or occasion, and enhance your gift with balloons, teddy bears and vases. Plus you’ll receive free chocolates with every order!
