Flowers are one of the most popular gifts in Gainesville, and one local store is well-stocked for the occasion.

Floral Expressions in Gainesville ordered between 12 and 15 thousand roses for the holiday.

They say they'll expect to sell the whole order and had to bring in extra help to prepare all the flowers.

They have so many flowers that they have a backup cooler to store the large order.

Elizabeth Cavallo of Floral Expressions says that red roses are always the most popular flower choice.
