15 of the Best Online Sources for Stunning Valentine's Day Flowers

The old adage of sending roses to loved ones on Valentine's Day is tradition first instituted by Victorians. The rise of botany in the mid to late 19th century also conjured a playful pastime among women to learn the language of flowers, or rather, to assign each flower its own meaning. Roses in this way became known for romance, red conjuring blushing brides and passionate tête-à-têtes. Sending red roses is still to this day a love language, a flirtation without having to speak the words and a physical affirmation of one's love.

While many still prefer a classic red rose, there are so many ways to say "I love you" with any variety of flowers. Today, it's not even necessary to call the florist or fight for the best looking petals at the market. The internet has made ordering flowers as simple and easy as a click of a button, with options ranging from beautiful bouquets to sculptural arrangements.
