Belmont's A Chocolate Dream and Paradise Flowers know Feb. 14th helps the bottom line.
For Belmont florist Christine Haverty, Valentine’s Day is definitely the “Black Friday” for love. More than any day of the year, Feb. 14 is the longest and busiest at Paradise Flowers. “We get a lot of orders for Mother’s Day as well but that occurs over an entire week rather than just one day,” said the owner of the shop on Concord Avenue. A visual and aromatic feast To handle the heavy requests, Christine will extend her hours on Tuesday and keep the shop open all day, from 7:30 a.m. until 8 p.m. She advises that anyone who is planning to purchase an unusual bouquet, insofar as colors or the arrangement, call at least a day in advance to make sure the particular time-tested gift of flora will be exactly right.

Cards addressed to you with the image of a puppy or a heart, and a message wanting you to be "My Valentine." Through your life, the Valentine Day card – from that first crush, a good friend or your life-long partner – has been the most recognizable, consistent and eagerly awaited expression of someones love for you on the 14th. This year, nearly 190 million cards will be sent in the US, many created and produced by card giant Hallmark which produced its first valentine 99 years ago.
