This Valentine's Day Skip Traditional Red Roses And Rock Her World With Unique Florals That Will 'Wow' Her Long After The Greeting Card Holiday

Floral expert Amy Child Marella of the Hidden Garden Floral Studio in Los Angeles offers some great advice for men who want to skip the traditional red roses and make a lasting impression this Valentine's Day.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 13, 2007 -- Every Valentine's Day men are faced with the arduous task of giving their loved-one a gift, which usually results in a dozen, very expensive, red roses accompanied by a more expensive dinner. Greeting card holiday or not, Valentine's Day is important to many women, who only ask that their beloved put a little thought into the day. Amy Child Marella, floral expert and owner of The Hidden Garden in Los Angeles (www.hiddengardenflowers.com,) has some great advice for men who want to show some originality this year and opt out of the "traditional" red roses.

Marella says that the key to wining her heart is to show creativity and thoughtfulness. Below are some Valentine's Day floral ideas that Marella says will leave a romantic, lasting impression:

The Never-Ending Blooming Orchid: Why not give her orchids, which will be around 3 - 5 weeks longer than red roses. This beautiful, flowering plant is hearty and long-lasting and will serve as a daily reminder of her romantic Valentine's Day surprise.

Buy Her a Decorative Vase: A decorative vase filled with her favorite flowers is a great way to show creativity and devotion. Ask her friends and family which flowers she loves and fill it up. This gift keeps giving long after the holiday because it can be filled with her favorite flowers all year long. She will be completely impressed with the time and effort put into this one. And, you will "wow" her every time you fill it. Just be sure to fill it often for no reason at all.

Jewelry in a Nest: Nestle a small gift in a beautiful arrangement of flowers so that when she leans in to smell them, something fabulous catches her eye. This gift can be anything from a gift certificate to jewelry to airline tickets for a romantic getaway.

Flowers for a Year: Surprise her with flowers every month for a year. Give her a note saying "I love you always - not only on Valentine's Day." This will make her fall in love again and again. Contact a local florist to arrange for a monthly delivery.
