UPS says its flower deliveries have increased nearly 50% compared to last year.
At The Little House of Flowers, Bateman had to get a refrigerated truck this year to handle the extra orders.
“I think people they’re staying home. They want something beautiful in their home to look at to make them feel good so we’ve seen a big increase.
Getting a dinner reservation on Valentine s Day is usually difficult anyways. Limited seating has made it even tougher.
