With Valentine’s Day on Tuesday, local florists are inundated with orders, and the most popular request at Pondview Florist is the traditional dozen roses. While red is the number one choice, the shop offers roses in colors from lavender to variegated orange. Across the center, at Stems on Waterfield Rd., owner Jennifer Collins said she has plenty of orders for roses, and is happy to fill them, but many of her customers request something different. “They come to the shop to get more unique floral arrangements,” Collins said. “We make everything custom.

Valentine’s Day can be more than just a day about Hallmark cards and chocolates.
I started talking about Valentine’s Day with some friends recently and the looks I got could have wilted a rose. Turned up noses, snarky comments about husbands dropping the ball and a few shrugged shoulders was about all I got. I realize that we have all been bombarded with Hallmark and Ferrero Rocher chocolate commercials the past few weeks but I am determined to turn this holiday from superficial to super fabulous, at least at my house. For starters I thought of my official answer for “Mom, what is Valentine’s Day anyway?” My answer, drum roll please, “It’s a day to celebrate Love (yes, Love with a capital L).” It doesn’t have to be a day filled with commercial influences but a day when we go the extra mile to remind those we love that…
