Kerry said: “Buying flowers is not exclusive to Valentine’s Day but it is one of our bigger and busier periods, people buy them all year round as it often helps them to say how they feel without using words.

"We’re hoping to be as busy as last year and orders are coming though so we have a few busy days ahead!”
