Its History: Why do we give flowers for Valentine's Day?
The custom of giving flowers for Valentine's Day originated in the 14th century at the English court. Noble couples exchanged small tokens of affection and gifts such as flowers, chocolates, and greeting cards, known as "Valentines." Immigrants later introduced the tradition to the USA, from where US soldiers eventually brought Valentine's Day to Germany. Today, Valentine's Day continues to enjoy great popularity as the "Day of Lovers." It is no longer just men who feel obligated to surprise their loved ones with fresh flowers on Valentine's Day; many women also use the occasion to express their love for their partner through flowers.

Sending flowers for Valentine's Day always brings joy to the recipient. Whether a bouquet of roses or a single flower is more suitable is not just a matter of taste.
