The tradition of sending Valentine’s Day flowers and chocolate began in the 17th century. Roses were the bloom of choice because the rose was supposed to be the favorite flower of Venus, the Goddess of Love. Chocolate, perhaps for its aphrodisiac effects, became the candy of choice for the lovers’ holiday, after Spanish explorers brought it to the Old World from the New World. Why not maintain this tradition by sending your love a beautiful bouquet and flowers
