February is the second month, and has 28 days, except on Leap Years when
it has 29 (2000, 2004, 2008, 2012). Named after the Roman god Februus.
The big holidays held in February are Groundhog's day (2nd), St. Valentine's
Day (14th) and President's day (3rd Monday). There were originally four
holidays, but they merged George Washington's and Abraham Lincoln's birthdays
together for for one presidential holiday.
February is also Black History Month, often used to celebrate the
accomplishments of George Washington Carver and Martin Luther King, Jr.

Aquarius: January 21 –
February 19
12 Red Roses
Fueled by the Aquarian’s strong imagination and intuition, the
much—anticipated Age of Aquarius is seen as a period in which we will
experience a great spiritual awakening. Although they crave independence,
Aquarians also have a strong, romantic streak, being exceptionally committed
and faithful to those they love. Along with their honest and loyal nature,
they possess a positive and optimistic outlook. Choose an arrangement that
resonates with their spiritual and intuitive qualities—like a tranquil
phalaenopsis orchid. Send fragrant freesia, known to represent trust and
faithfulness. Or, fuel their romantic streak with a bouquet filled with
majestic callas, or the very epitome of love and passion, 12 Red Roses. Info

Pisces: February 20 –
March. 20
Pink Dawn Flower Bouquet
 One of the less flamboyant of the zodiac signs, the Pisces possesses a gentle
and patient nature and excels at understanding others and themselves more so
than any other sign. With a great sense of generosity, compassion and
sensitivity, it’s not surprising that they tend to be popular with all kinds
of people. Easygoing and affectionate, they lead with emotion rather than
rationality, instinct more than intellect. Send them Teleflora’s Pink
Dawn Flower Bouquet , filled with a mix of soft—colored blooms, or an arrangement that
complements their preference for subtlety, featuring delicate daffodils. Or,
choose a bouquet of small blossoms like alstroemeria or a flowering azalea
plant—both big in beauty but modest in design.
