ST. LOUIS – Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, which means you better start planning what to do and what gifts you might give that special someone.

Now, just 10 days away, people are looking for places to get flowers for their Valentine’s Day.

“The sooner you place your order, the more availability we have,” said Lesher’s Flowers manager Christine Lesher-Reed.

She urges people to plan ahead so you don’t run out of luck. Lesher Reed still has around 1,000 red roses for sale as of Saturday.

“It’s very important,” said Lesher Reed. “It’s a one-day deal. We know what we have in store so we can plan better with our drivers.”

If you’re the person who’s looking for red roses late but can’t find any because they’re sold out, there are many other popular options to choose from.

“A lot of people like a stargazer lily,” said Lesher Reed. “Really pretty, hydrangeas are popular. Tulips too.”

But for her darling, it’s the spring flowers that help bring out the best in Mother Nature

“I like tulips,” said Lesher Reed. “I like the spring stuff.”

If you can’t find time to make it to the store, you can always check online what’s available.

“They see our site with a lot of options to choose from, but they always come right in,” said Lesher Reed. “We’d be happy to do something for you to take away, but something together for you to take away.”

While people can buy their flowers, another Valentine’s Day tradition is chocolate. Over in Chippewa, “Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate” has many deals where you can get someone special.
