St Valentine was a fourth century Roman martyr who was put to death for taking pity on Christian prisoners on a cold night. Valentine's day as we know it today started 200 years ago, when nice young ladies were heavily chaperoned. They would be sent posies of flowers with hidden meanings by their seceret suitors. In the language of flowers lavender, myrtle and rosemary signified faithfulness, while roses would change their meaning depending on their colour. It is just a shame February is not a good time for flowers, and the ones that are available cost a premium. So in the meantime have a look at Period Cottage Interiors and see what you may find.
