UPS ramps up deliveries of flowers for a busy Valentine's Day weekend - WDRB

UPS is delivering Valentine's Day gifts all over the country.

The logistics giant expects to deliver more than 850,000 boxes of flowers this year. That's a 48 percent jump from last year.

UPS is scheduled to make more than 125 flights from South America to Miami to deliver those boxes to florists across the country. The company says it also expects to deliver more than 91 million stems directly to customers.

No flowers around here. We decided that 49 years ago. We have better things to spend our money on. Trips-toys-home improvements--anything but flowers.

Yeah , I agree @rod , you want flowers? Grow them in the garden! I’m not @542thruNthru who spends $200 on two roses just cause there’s a drought.
