Happy Valentine’s Day, Vancouver!
February 14, 2008 |
“Pure is the white rose/ In the compost earth/ growing eternal strength/ in the nights that so hurt” (poem by Edgar Allan Poe)
Happy Valentine’s Day from Julia Pelish Photography. I hope you got roses, chocolates, teddy bears, and/or something sparkly and shiny, like an engagement ring!
Here are some fun facts I found on Valentine’s Day that I thought you might enjoy:
- More than 90 million roses were delivered today in North America
- The most popular rose given is the “Signature Rose” - which is defined as a long-stemmed, dethorned red rose surrounded by baby’s breath
- 192 million greeting cards are exchanged today
- Who receives the most Valentine’s? Teachers
- As we told you a couple of days ago, more engagement rings are purchased in February than in any other month
- More than $62 million in jewelry will be spent for Valentine’s Day gifts.
