For one local florist, red roses are the focus of romance on Valentine’s Day.
Co-owner of Janette Florist Brandi Sullivan is preparing for Feb. 14 with a large assortment of flowers and arrangements. The local, family owned shop located at 686 Janette Ave., has been in business since 1947.
“Traditionally, red roses mean love, so they are the most popular on Valentine’s Day. But we do sell many different colors,” said Sullivan. “Also, we do a large number of mixed flowers, Valentine’s arrangements and plants. We make sure we have a selection for every budget.”
Sullivan said orchids are also popular items this time of year.
Along with flowers, Sullivan says they also sell a lot of chocolates, teddy bears, balloons, and baskets on Valentine’s Day.
In preparation for the upcoming day of romance, the owners make sure the flower buckets are clean, goods are and customers are encouraged to pre-order their purchases before Valentine’s Day.
