By any other name, Valentine roses cost more this year
By Lucy Bighia
Well, it's that time of year again. Time to pay tribute
to that troublesome little archer, better known as Cupid,
by lavishing affection on a willing (or unwilling) party.

Valentine's Day gifts in the past have ranged from an
evening of wining and dining to heart -covered underwear.
The more traditional gift choice, however, is an armful
or vaseful of fresh flowers, something of a rarity in this
snowy wasteland.
Those who plan on sending flowers should also plan on
reaching a little deeper into their pockets this year.
Cold, wet weather in growing areas like California and
Florida has severely reduced flower crops, and the dimin
ished supply has forced florists to raise their prices.
A dozen longstem roses, for instance, which cost $25
to $30 last Valentine's Day , will cost $27 to $50 this year.
But roses aren't the only special for Valentine's Day.
The FTD "Love Bundle," an assortment of pink carna
tions, poms and red tulips, sells for $15 to $17.50.
Local shops also offer Valentine specials of their own,
which include fresh and silk arrangements, and blooming
and green plants.
Most fresh arrangements and potted plants start at $10,
but florists often offer cash-and-carry specials for less.
And Michael's, 930 L St., offers a 10 percent student
