Jessica Sidman of Washingtonian has an article about Valentine flowers, which do not have to be rose (again). She said: "Guys, show your Valentine you’re not an average Joe by giving her
something other than the average rose. From lilies to lisianthus,
hydrangeas to heliconias, here are Valentine’s Day recommendations from
local florists."
You can find her recommendations here, and by the way, Orchids For You is once again mentioned: For a flower that will last long after Valentine’s Day, orchids are a
good bet. Orchids for You specializes in the exotic plants. Owner Tom
Pho says the most popular variety is the phalaenopsis orchid ($15 to
$45), which comes in lavender, pink, and red and has six to eight
blooms per stem. Each bloom lasts two to three months. Pho also
recommends the fragrant cattleya orchids ($42.50 to $60), which have
four-to-six-inch blossoms in a variety of colors and last two to four
weeks. A miniature version is also available (starting at $15). For a
fire-engine-red orchid that will bloom for four to six weeks, try
oncidium orchids ($20 to $40), better known as Dancing Ladies or
Dancing Dolls.
