A pot of miniature roses which will live on long after Valentine’s day is gone. You can go for traditional red or the favorite colour of the receipient. These roses can eventually be planted in the garden where they will gradually increase in size.

Phalaenopsis Orchids (Moth orchid) are beautiful for any occasion, and will give the receipient a lot of pleasure each time they see the elegant flowers of the plant which can last for months in the right conditions.

African Violets

I have previously written about the joy of African Violets here. These hugely popular compact beautiful bloomers. They come in many colours and varieties and are just the thing for small spaces. They even come in miniature form.

Lucky Bamboo

This plant is said to be particularliy auspicious when given as a gift. Not only will you wish someone good health, prosperity and happiness, this plant will also increase Feng Shui. Two stalks symbolize love.

Note: Although this plant is called bamboo, it it in fact stalks of Dracaena sanderiana.

Lavender

Lavender is a personal favorite. This perennial shrub is renowned for its hardiness. It will uplift the mood with it’s soothing and refreshing fragrance. It can refresh bath water, and be used as a herb in the kitchem. How is that for versatility? It’s a real winner as a Valentine gift.

Peace Lily

What better way to dispel any negative vibes around Valentine’s than a Peace Lily. An elegant flower on a long living plant which will enhance any room.
