What? This article is not necessary, everything is already covered at Flower. This is not even BJAODN material. > RUL3R >trolling >vandalism  20:13, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete; also redundant to Valentine's Day, original research, and likely intended to sell flowers: People express their love for each other by means of gifts, of which flowers play a prominent role. In fact, it is said{ that flowers and chocolates are so essential that those gifts would be taken for granted if presented, yet will be noticed if not presented. It is said  that the tradition of offering flowers was originally Persian and it was introduced to the west in the 18th century. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:06, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge to Valentine's Day. Surprisingly, there isn't a section in that article describing the gifts made on that day (flowers, box of candy, intercourse, etc.)  I agree that it's unnecessary, in the same way that Christmas present is (it redirects to gift).

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Merge somehow. Looking at the St. Valentine's Day article, there is quite a list of things already existing in the regional celebrations section.  Given that Valentines Flowers may well be particularly North American???  creating a 'Valentines Flowers' or 'Valentines gifts' section outside the regional celebrations may be NorthAmerican-centric.  Not sure.  But given the regional complexity of the celebration, I think this stand-alone is probably too simple.--David V Houston (talk) 00:38, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge somewhere into Valentine's Day - I'm sure that there's somewhere it go in there. And to David (above me) - giving flowers on Feb 14th happens in the United Kingdom as well (I've seen plenty of girls on the bus home with bunches of flowers (but not since 2008, as it's been on the weekend since)).

 * Merge into the Valentine's Day article. It seems it's the best place for it. -- B s a d o w s k i 1   21:09, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
