Everyone loves to receive roses. But if you gave roses last year, and the one before, it might be time to try something new.
Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) February 13, 2014
Anyone can give roses on Valentine's Day. This year, think outside the flower box with gifts that say "I love you" for months to come — a message every Valentine wants to hear.
“Everyone loves to receive roses,” says Katie Dubow, creative director at Garden Media. “But if you gave roses last year, and the one before, it might be time to try something new.”
Here are a few ideas to shake things up this Valentine’s Day and gift a lasting “I love you”:
Classic Moth Orchids
Orchids offer classic, timeless beauty, and are not drama queens! They are easy to grow and will reward your loved one with weeks, even months, of gorgeous blooms – and be a constant reminder of your affection.
Orchids need only the simplest care: Low light, warm temperatures, consistent water, and a shot of fertilizer every now and then. These colorful flowers bloom in a great range of classic colors: pure white, pink, chartreuse, and bi-colors.

Kick-it-Up Anthurium
Appropriately named Allura, this hot anthurium bears Valentine’s Day-shaped red flowers and leaves. Mother Nature is such a romantic, isn’t she? The flowers feature standing-at-attention yellow centers, like little exclamation points and last for weeks. Also called flamingo flower, this little number adds colorful allure anywhere you place it. Potted in a white decorator pot, this anthurium brightens any spot in the house and can be moved to a shaded spot outdoors in warm weather. Love continues year round with its display of beautiful blossoms.

Bleeding Heart Plant
With a charm all their own, Bleeding Hearts are the all-time favorite perennials for Valentine's Day. In fact, they have been popular since their introduction in 1842.
Perfect strings of red, white or pink heart shaped flowers dangle from the dark red stems in late spring—and they’ll bloom year after year. Give a Valentine gift of love.
