The bad news: it’s probably too late if you don’t have a Valentine’s Day dinner reservation already. The good news: you have the exact right amount of time to pick up fresh flowers, whether it’s to spoil yourself or a loved one with something fragrant and beautiful.
Keep in mind that this is behind only Mother’s Day for the busiest time of year for florists, so shops will be busy, but St. Pete has a plethora of great locally-run spots with fresh flowers to brighten up any day. We’ll refrain from listing out every single one (though let us know if we missed your favorite), and instead highlight a mix of the top-rated spots spread throughout the area.
And a quick note before we begin: roses aren’t the only good flowers for Valentine’s Day! Carnations are classic, tulips are coming back in season, and nothing fills a room with sweet scents like a blooming lily. Don’t be afraid to venture beyond the Valentine’s standard, which may be rarer and more expensive anyway.
