bunch of flowers, but a real romantic gesture - and one that will last longer than a few days is far more of a challenge.
When you think of all the waste associated with Valentine's Day - the throwaway cards, the yards of cellophane, not to mention the air miles clocked up by flowers flown in from around the globe - how much better to give a living plant as a present.
Potted plants are so much more suggestive of permanent affection than a bunch of flowers, and on a purely pragmatic level, they give much better value for money.
You could choose a houseplant - Jasmine, Stephanotis and Gardenias are fragrant and glamorous, or a passionflower vine, perhaps wound round a support in the shape of a heart, would speak for itself.
Or how about something which can be planted out in the garden in a few weeks' time?
If it has to be red roses - and they are, after all, the classic "I love you" flower - you can't get better than an entire bush of them that promises years of pleasure and passion for years ahead.
As for Valentine's cards that's another challenge in itself, if you are looking for something unique with a witty twist then look no more as we have found these for you.
