February is the winter month that works so hard to shake the chill and celebrate love. Maybe you have noticed the endless seas of red and pink at local stores or watched as people find little ways to enjoy themselves and help others during a harsh winter. With your help, we can spread the warmth and bring a smile. Here are the reasons you should be sending flowers this month:

#1. Valentine’s Day – Feb 14th

As if you couldn’t see this one coming from a mile away! Valentine’s Day is one of the biggest flower-sending holidays of the entire year. That’s because beautiful fresh-cut flowers are the very best way to say what’s on your mind! Whether it is  “I love you!” or “I’m trying my best for you.” or simply “You are special!” – flowers can mean anything you want them to mean. And that special person who got flowers? They won’t forget it.

#2. American Heart Month

The CDC made the natural choice to bring about heart health awareness during the very month we associate with love. Most people know that heart disease is the leading cause of death for men and women but the surprising news is heart disease is preventable and controllable. This is information worth sharing. If you know a loved with who is at risk, sending red-themed flowers for Amercian Heart Month can be a gentle reminder that they can take control of their heart health.

#3. Winter Olympic Games – Feb 7th – 23rd

It is an exciting time in the world of sports as the XXII Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia begins! Arrangements featuring the classic blue, yellow, black, green, and red can be custom designed for some 5 ring inspiration. This type of flower creation would be a thoughtful and exciting gift for your avid Olympic follower or, best of all, a bit of encouragement for a young athlete with big dreams. Ask your local florist to get in the spirit of the games today!

#4. Random Acts of Kindness Day – Feb. 17th

Join in a growing worldwide holiday that challenges you to do something kind to a friend or stranger for no reason at all. This is a perfect time to give a cheerful bouquet to that barista that goes above and beyond or your elderly neighbor who doesn’t get out much. By doing something kind for someone else, they are likely to act out of kindness as well. So a small heart-warming deed can perpetuate.

#5. February. Birthdays

Anyone with a birthday in February needs a bright pretty arrangement to celebrate the warmth and love of their special day! Early spring flowers are just coming in stock and your florist will have breathtaking options that will say “Happy Birthday” better than anything else. The birth flower for February is the violet which symbolizes faithfulness, wisdom and hope.
