What is classic to one is cliché to another, and it may be true that there’s nothing more controversial than the quintessential bouquet of a dozen roses on Valentine’s Day. We love the unwavering romance that no blooms can quite duplicate like roses, but for those seeking something more creative, we’ve compiled a list of floral gifts sure to impress and surprise your loved one. We’ve even included a way to reimagine the rose this Valentine’s Day.
Here are some out-of-the-box floral ideas to consider.

The Gift that Keeps on Giving
Sure, the flowers won’t last forever, but they’ll be able to hold onto it for much longer if a succulent is included. Include a beautiful pot to house the cactus for a longstanding gesture of romance, and bonus decor! Surround lush blooms with glossy, angular succulents for a distinct contrast
