Giving, arranging, and sharing flowers have been popular for as long as we can remember.

Behind the Deliveries and Arrangements of Valentines Day Flowers
To begin the journey of a flower arrangement, the flowers have to be grown. This requires a massive infrastructure and supply chain built to grow and harvest all kinds of flowers. Then the flowers have to be harvested and sold while they are still fresh.
From there, the customer places an order and the florist makes the arrangement and delivers it as rapidly as possible. Interestingly, all this has to be done before the flowers even begin to show signs of age, which is a monumental task.
