Starting thinking about February 14 yet?

Let's start with cards. Even if money is tight a well-chosen card with meaningful words can speak volumes. Our directory lists dozens of Derbyshire newsagents where you'll find the card with your loved one's name on it.

And then, of course, there are flowers.

If you take a look at the Derbyshire florists listed in our directory you'll find that many of them have been reviewed and rates by people like you keen to simply pass on a recommendation or their experience with a particular business.

Over a million people give fresh flowers every year on February 14. The Victorians used flowers to send coded messages to each other, allowing lovers to express sentiments that would otherwise appear unseemly.

The nuances of the language are mostly forgotten, but red roses still imply passionate, romantic love and pink roses a lesser affection; white roses suggest virtue and chastity and yellow roses stand for friendship or devotion.

And, while roses are still the traditional choice, there are other ways you can say it with flowers.

Passion and seduction: Anthurium plants have dozens of glossy flowers and will keep going long after the passion has cooled.

Romance and new love: For originality, choose single lilies and the sweetly scented pure white eucharis.

Treasured love: Amaryllis are perfect choices for lasting love. They're strong, elegant and glamorous.
