I have no idea how much money is spent annually on flowers for Valentine's Day, but I don't think it's a stretch it say it's well north of a billion dollars. Here's how I figure that: There are 300 million-ish people in the US; maybe 100 million or so are adult males; at least 50% of those buy flowers, at an average price of $20/bundle; and that gets you to $1 billion. And I think I was being conservative on some of those numbers.
Regardless, I try to do my part to support the flower industry every year. Last year was Tulips, this year Chrysanthemums.

Valentine's Day is the day of love. I think flowers are the best gift for express the feelings to lovers and other people.
