ROSES are red, violets are blue and the florists of Wyndham are ready for the queue. With Valentine’s Day around the corner the Wyndham’s florists are gearing up for one of the busiest times of the year. Saint Valentine’s Day marks the celebration of love and affection and is traditionally a day for gift giving. Most lovers will dig deep into their pockets in the lead up to Friday, with Australians spending over $900 million on Valentine’s flowers, trips, dinners and confectionary each year. Manager of Dorothy’s of Werribee, Marina, said red roses were a hot favourite at Valentine’s Day but recommended people buy the flowers they liked best. 114226 Picture: DAMJAN JANEVSKI
