In fact, about 25% of the yearly sales occur around this observance, after all while it's mostly men buying on Valentine's Day, on Mother's Day, both women and men are buying items.

Still, Valentine's Day is a huge day for the industry and comes in third place in terms of the volume of flowers sold. While it's true that most of the flowers are purchased by husbands for their wives, about 10 percent of the flowers are purchased by women who buy flowers for themselves or perhaps for a friend or daughter. While you might think that red roses are the top seller on this day, mixed floral arrangements actually are in first place with the roses in second place. However, the mixed arrangements do tend to focus on different types of roses.

Colombia is one of the biggest places where the supplies of flowers come from. Most domestic flowers however come from California. It is in California in fact that 70% of these domestically-grown flowers are produced.
