Local Florist Shops to Support This Valentine’s Day

Tampa Bay flower shops will hit their second-busiest week as Valentine's Day arrives this Saturday. The area has more than a dozen spots where customers can grab fresh-cut blooms, from storefronts to trucks that visit different places.

According to That's So Tampa.com, Valentine's Day trails only Mother's Day when it comes to florist traffic. Roses are still the top pick, but carnations, tulips, and lilies give shoppers other choices that won't break the bank or disappear from shelves.

St. Petersburg has 10 shops spread across town. Bloom House Florist & Bazaar at 6700 Central Ave. sells ready-made bunches, houseplants, and DIY bouquets. Green Bench Flowers sits downtown at 10 4th St. N., right next to Schakolad Chocolate Factory, if you need something fast.

Gulf Orchids in Gulfport at 5313 Gulfport Blvd. S focuses on tropical and rare blooms. Jennie's Flowers at 2301 Dr M.L.K. Jr. St. N. and its Tampa spot at 2730 W. Columbus Drive bring farm-fresh picks, whether you want a simple bunch or a full wedding setup.
