As far as I know on Valentine’s Day no one saves money on flowers. No wonder flowers
may cost up to 30 percent more that day! Some people even buy and send flowers to
themselves on Valentine’s Day. The most popular flower is still the rose followed by lilies
and violets. The colors of flowers are very important as they speak about your feelings and
emotions, but many people just don’t pay attention to that and buy whatever they find
nice and suitable.

I was surprised to learn that Valentine cards date back so long ago. Some scientists
believe that the tradition was probably started by Charles, Duke of Orleans, because the
oldest surviving Valentine dates back to him, to the year of 1415. It was a beautiful poem
written by the Duke to his wife. However some historians trace the roots of the holiday
back to the Roman times and their pagan celebrations or early medieval times.

Do you know, that one billion Valentine cards are sent each year worldwide, making it the
second largest card-sending holiday of the year behind Christmas? I’ve heard Hallmark, a
big card producer, even employs research staff to analyze the sales pattern of previous
Valentines. They analyze customer interviews and in-store observations to find out which
cards have been a sell-out this or that year and which age group chooses which type of cards
and which is the best poem on the card and so on.

BBC reports that India has spoken out against Valentine’s Day calling it “an attack on local
culture for commercial purposes”. So I guess they do take it seriously and there’re people not
in favor of this holiday. The Catholic Church, for instance, struck St. Valentine’s Day from its
official calendar in 1969. There even have been times when Valentine’s Day was close to
being forbidden.
