Flowers are defiantly one of the most popular presents for a man to give to a woman on Valentine’s Day. In reality the flowers are so popular that in most cases men give flowers together with some other gift as an addition instead of giving flowers as a gift. But the problem lies not with giving the flowers but in choosing the flowers, allot of man quite often make the mistake of thinking that red roses are the only choice of flowers to give to their loved one on Valentine’s Day and this is absolutely not true. Not only there are other flowers which are totally appropriate for Valentine’s Day but there are also a few different ways on how give flowers and flower related gifts. Here I will show a few different ways on how to give pick and give flowers on Valentine’s Day.
Roses are usually quite expensive on Valentine’s Day as the price for them gets jacked up on that day because of the high demand for them and people prepared to pay the price. So the solution is if you decide to stick to the roses you can buy those few days in advance otherwise you need to remember that roses are not the only flower out there which you can give as a gift. Think about your partner and what she likes if you know her then you probably know her favorite flower so go and buy them just think how surprised she will be when she would be expecting to get roses as everyone else and suddenly she gets her favorite flowers. This will show your partner that you care and you listen to her and also will save you some money and effort.
Another option you may want to consider is giving potted plants as a flower gift for Valentine’s Day. The reason behind it, is that these flowers last much longer then fresh flowers and can be as beautiful as fresh once, so you partner can enjoy the beauty of the gift for much longer. Another advantage of such gift is that you have quite a wide chose of plans and also they do not costs as much as some fresh flowers. One thing you should keep in mind when buying potted plant you should select a plat which is easy to care for so your loved one will not have hard time caring for the plant.
Another option you may want to consider is artificial flowers. It may not seem like a romantic gift but some artificial flowers are made so well that they look really lifelike and some ladies actually will prefer artificial flowers instead of real once. The reasons for it are that artificial flowers require no maintenance to keep their appearance they also last for much longer then the real once and they do not result in any rubbish like fallen petals or leaves.
Another idea you may want to consider as a way of a flower gift on Valentine’s Day is to give your partner flower seeds which they can plant in a pot or in their backyard. The reason why this idea may work quite well is because it can be quite fun activity for you and your partner to do together. This generally will work with people who have some sort of interests in gardening. This sort of thing will also make the gift a bit more special and also will allow you and your partner to spend some quality time together.
As the final thought make sure you always think about your partner when choosing a gift for them. Put some thought into it, do some research, notice what your partner like and dislikes and doing this will help you to pick the right gift and make your partner feel special.

I'll answer this just to correct a totally wrong answer "Some of the amino acids you are combining will cause your serotonin to increase causing depression. Antidepressants inhibit serotonin". No they don't. Antidepressants in the form of SSRI inhibit the re-uptake of serotonin thus making it stay active longer. The re-uptake absorbs serotonin from the synapse taking it out of use, the inhibitor stops this re-uptake and increases the amount at the synapse.
Why don't you just eat better rather than be spending money on all this stuff. Look at the ingredients, you can easily get then from fruit and veg. Broccoli extract (whatever that is) go and eat a stalk of the stuff instead of eating pills.
Flower Seeds Hummingbird there is flower in my pineapple plant,how can i get the seeds from it?
the pineapple fruit is still small,i wonder if there is a way to gather seeds from it.Is it true that the pineapple can produce seeds only if it's cross polinated by a hummingbird?Someone told me too that if I will cover the fruit with plsatic it will produce seeds,is it true?Thank you.
You will probably not get seeds from your pineapple plant. They need to have a different variety of pineapple for the pollen. However, after your pineapple flower turns to a fruit the mother plant will produce a bunch of 'pups' (little sprouts around the bottom) which you can separate and grow into more pineapple plants.
flowers,butterfly and a hummingbird - beauty in all things living
Why don't birds like my bird feeder?
I live in the palm desert, CA (u kno, palm springs, really hot etc.) a couple of days ago i bot a seed feeder and hummingbird feeder and hung the hummingbird feeder under a shady bush near a flowering plant they seem to like and near our pool (with safe drinking water for them and waterfall). I put the seed feeder hanging on our palm tree near a man made pond they like. the seed mix has those good sunflower seeds and some crushed corn in it. and of course the hummingbird feeder has nectar in it and has red feeder flowers. any ideas? thx in advance.
Be patient..it may take them a little while to find the feeders. No need to add food coloring, the color on the feeder itself should be enough to attract them. Just make sure you are offering the preferred seed for the species who frequent your yard.
Flower Seeds bulbs Plants I have questions about my amaryllis plants?
They have flowered and I left the long stalks on. They made pods which have opened up. Are the black things inside of them seeds? How long do you have to let the seeds grow to make bulbs that will produce flowers? If they are seeds could you give me planting instructions? Thank you.
Yes - those are seeds.
You can start them in a moist peat/perlite mixture. Keep in high light, but protect from direct sun.
It will take years before they are large enough to bloom.
What seeds/bulbs can i plant now that will come in summer?
What seeds/bulds/plants can i plant now that will last all summer that are quite hardy?My soil is not that good even though i mix compost in.I live in Liverpool England and would love my garden to be full of flowers and my son wants to help me plant?Help please.
Best to wait until mid-April when you can be pretty sure there will be no frost. Then head down to your local DIY store & buy summer-bedding plants-all the hard work will have been done for you, & they are reasonable prices!
