The romance on this board astounds me. This is actually one of my favorite holidays, single or not.

Some of us leverage something other than romance when we lure in our mates...Wink
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

You smooth devil, you. I'm totally stealing this line.

Oh I get mad garden cravings too. On garden websites my 'handle' is serialplantfetishist. I want em all. Some forms of lust are never fully sated.

Here are a couple of flowers to excite my queen's eye:

And here is a counterpart with my hand for a comparison:

Wait, you should also get a rose:

How about some earrings to go with that?

I'm not really much of a romantic where Valentines day is concerned but I can always get fired up to talk about plants and flowers.

Actually, St Valentine's Day seems to be as phony as everything else associated with xtianity.

Quote:Historian Jack Oruch has made the case that the traditions associated with "Valentine's Day", documented in Geoffrey Chaucer's Parliament of Foules and set in the fictional context of an old tradition, had no such tradition before Chaucer.[20] He argues that the speculative explanation of sentimental customs, posing as historical fact, had their origins among 18th-century antiquaries, notably Alban Butler, the author of Butler's Lives of Saints, and have been perpetuated even by respectable modern scholars. In the French 14th-century manuscript illumination from a Vies des Saints (illustration above), Saint Valentine, bishop of Terni, oversees the construction of his basilica at Terni; there is no suggestion here yet that the bishop was a patron of lovers
