My wife insists that I not get her roses for Valentine's Day because they're just too expensive and don't last more than a week. I save the roses for our anniversary instead.

My all time favorite was when Art stole a rose from the rose bush in front of the library and gave it to me. Someone was walking by and was like, "You sure are a lucky woman".

He's been known to stop as we're driving along the road to pick me some wildflowers too (and shakes them out so there are no bugs).

Cupid, another symbol of Valentines Day, became associated with it because he was the son of Venus, the Roman god of love and beauty. Cupid often appears on Valentine cards holding a bow and arrows because he is believed to use magical arrows to inspire feelings of love.

During the late 1800s, postage rates around the world dropped, and the obscene St. Valentine's Day card became popular, despite the Victorian era being otherwise very prudish. As the numbers of racy valentines grew, several countries banned the practice of exchanging Valentine's Days cards. During this period, Chicago's post office rejected more than 25,000 cards on the grounds that they were so indecent, they were not fit to be carried through the U.S. mail.

During the Middle Ages, the belief that birds chose their mates on St. Valentine's Day led to the idea that boys and girls would do the same. Up through the early 1900s, the Ozark hill people in the eastern United States thought that birds and rabbits started mating on February 14, a day for them which was not only Valentine's Day but Groundhog Day as well.

I used to have a "Guatemalan Rose Shop" across the street from my bus stop (I moved, I presume it's still there), and it was crazy how much the price of a dozen fluctuated across the week, and ESPECIALLY in February. They had a little chalkboard out, it could be anywhere from $3 per dozen to $35.

I have never gotten flowers from anyone before. Not sure if I really care or not though. I'm sure I'd appreciate it if I got them, but there's other things I'd like more.

I'd prefer them for that too. Actually, even better, is a random day.

No idea. I'm not a flower person myself. Well, maybe orchids?

I'm not a fan of roses honestly. I'd rather have other flowers in pretty colors.
Same here. Usually I like pink and white carnations, though my husband gets red ones too.

For our last anniversary he got me a bouquet of white roses. They were beautiful and I wouldn't mind having them again, but roses are ridiculous expensive around Valentine's day. And usually just red.

I have gotten them a few times 1x while we were dating and a few times early in our marriage "from the kids".
