Well said! Hallmark became successful because it is a company that helps people express their feelings when they don’t know how. And flowers are just an extension of that same effort. Men, in particular, have a difficult time letting their loved ones know that they care. And if they need a card, box of chocolates or a bouquet to send that message, then at least they HAVE that option to do so! So rather than pooh-pooh the holiday, everyone should be embracing it as one day in which it is easy to show he or she cares if that’s a hard emotion to share.

Thanks for sharing YOUR thoughts!

You are absolutely right, but I’m very happy Joyce Hall’s Hallmark promoted it.
I have been in both the Flower and the Chocolate industries…and I think there is room for both and hope that Hallmark helps make it an even bigger holiday so we all succeed.
