14 February in Argentina
Visit Argentina identifies Valentine’s Day as 14 February. This is the occasion’s date rather than an obligation to give flowers. Our suggestion starts with your partner’s taste and you can choose another way to celebrate.
February falls in southern summer. For a gift organised from Spain ask about flowers where your partner will be. Sharing a date does not mean sharing the season or a shop’s stock.
Red roses if they enjoy them and alternatives with another look
Red roses are our main suggestion for someone who enjoys that flower. Start with their favourite if you know it even if it is another species or colour. Alstroemerias may suit someone who likes detailed petals while lisianthus offers a softer shape.
A card can explain the gift better than a meaning assigned to a colour. You could write something specific such as “I wanted you to have flowers in your reading corner. I chose this colour because you always look for it.” Adapt the words to something you know about your relationship.
For a walk or a trip away
Avoid turning a surprise into something they must carry throughout your plans. Give flowers before leaving if they can put them at home or afterwards if you will be out for several hours. A card lets you save the bouquet for that later moment.
Keep cut flowers away from heat and choose a time when they can go into water. For delivery to accommodation ask whether they accept flowers and who will receive them. Do not assume they can store a bouquet before you arrive.
A delivery from a distance without guessing their plans
Confirm the location and a time window when someone can receive the order. If you cannot ask without spoiling the surprise coordinate with someone close who knows their plans. The delivery guide helps you agree substitutions and a fallback if no one is home.
An example order: “I want a small bouquet for 14 February. They enjoy red roses but please check with me if you need to replace them. They can only receive it in the afternoon.” Ask about size and the total price before completing the order.
Which flowers to choose
We suggest flowers that may suit each occasion. Where a custom is documented, we explain it separately. For a personal gift you can choose another flower if you know the recipient will like it more.

How we put these guides together
We consult institutional sources to check dates and customs. For plant facts, we use horticultural sources. Our gift ideas start with each flower’s appearance and the recipient’s taste. A shop link documents a particular offer. It does not prove that a flower is popular or part of a tradition. We keep adding to this selection rather than claiming to cover every species.
