I was watching the show this morning, and there was a comment made about women and flowers. Colby said that Valentine's Day is mainly about women and whatever women do for their man is fine with them. Colby also said that he has never been given flowers. I wanted to tell just a quick story about me and my man. It was only about three months after meeting him, that Valentine's Day was here. At the time I lived 100 miles away from him, so on V-day I sent him a dozen red roses. He was so touched by the gesture, because he had never been given flowers before, that even after two years we are still going strong. Our love for each other just gets stronger and deeper every day.

I can't believe how petty women are about flowers! I'll take any flower. Ones from the grocery store, florist or one picked out of my yard! No wonder men doesn't understand women!

now that is funny special the part No wonder men doesn't understand women. lol

She should have Colby on her show more often. He is a hottie! That really made the flower segement for me.

Good job RR!!

I just enjoy any flowers my husband brings me. It is not often and I love it more because it is just because. I don't need Valentine flowers, everyone else is getting them also. He knows I don't care for roses and brought me carnations instead. Just remember every woman is different.

Here!!!!!!!Here!!!!!!!!!!!! every one .I also get a kick out of these people that R.R has on her show . If my husband comes home with flowers from the store that is wonderful. He is doing that for me who needs $100.00 dollar flowers they are self centered if they need that. My husband is one of the last romantic men left we have been married 31 years and it is still spicy HOT!!!!

What is wrong with these women complaining because their husband or bf didn't buy them the "right" flowers? With that attitude they're lucky to be getting any flowers at all.

This valentines day will mark 5 years since my husband and I started dating. We just got married in august 07. He has only bought me flowers about 4, maybe 5 times since we first got together.... all of them were from wal-mart or krogers. Most of the time he just says "Honey, I thought about buying you flowers today, but I didn't feel like stopping anywhere when i got off work... and it's the thought that counts". Why can't these women just be happy they got flowers?

Hi, all! I can see I'm not the only one who had the "I-can't-believe-it" reaction to the Valentine flowers segment today. My gosh! The man in so many women's lives don't give them flowers at all EVER from ANYWHERE, ANYTIME, and the women on Rachael's show today were griping about the flowers they ARE fortunate enough to get from their man??? PUH-LEEZ! SHEESH! What ingrates! Personally, as long as they're not wilted, I'll take flowers anytime, I don't care WHERE they come from!

I was a florist for over 25 years. I always had my rose shipments
delivered to the shop as close to "V-Day" as possible and were made up as near to that date as I could.(I was a "one man band" and did the bulk of make-up and delivery myself.)Roses were packaged in water tubes and stayed as crisp and fresh as the day I unpacked them.My secret was cutting them, putting them in warm (not hot) water..(after all you don't wash your face in cold water
to open pores, do you?) that was mixed 1/2 and half with lemon-lime soda. The roses love the carbonation and feed on the sugar..
plus they absorb more of the warm water this way. The roses should be re-vased with the fresh concoction daily as well as
re-cutting with a knife on a slant..don't use shears. Being in the business for so long, I knew my clientele well. The majority
not being rich could not afford a 1/2 dozen or dozen of roses and
hemmed and hawed as to what to do until I said my standard phrase
which put a lot at ease.."One rose says volumes where a dozen doesn't say anything.." Just picture your fella picking one rose out of 100 in a large bucket because he thought that was the most beautiful one for his own most beautiful one..kinda gets to you doesn't it? On a personal note..my husband and I have been together for 6 yrs. and married for five this year..I married at age 50 for the first time. The first flowers he ever bought me were orange roses from the grocery store. I carried a whole cascade bouquet of sunset orange roses and baby's breath at our wedding and he continues to surprise me with orange roses at non-celebration times just because. It doesn't bother me that they come from the grocery store..I know how difficult the color is to find. A few years ago he went to a local florist two weeks before Valentine's Day and ordered a dozen orange roses and went through
many fretful days(and many dollars) worrying that orange would not arrive from the grower as the florist could not guarantee them..If, by chance, he had found them in the grocery that would have been ok by me..It is the loving thought that counts.
While picking out goodies for your valentine..consider being a "Valentine Angel" to others..Are there 2 or three ladies in your office who have lost their special someone to an illness or,for one reason or another,do not have one at the present time. Why not pick out three roses or carnations and put them on their desks with a "Just because you're special" enclosure card. Just might make someone's day..whatcha think??

I'm frustrated, that girl should just be happy she gets flowers. My husband will come home and say, "I thought about getting you flowers today but I didn't feel like stopping anywhere after I got off work... but hey it's the thought that counts". We've been together almost 5 years, and married almost 6months. In all of that time he's only brought me flowers 4 times. All of them were from wal-mart or krogers. I was thankful to get them, instead of a story about how he "thought" about getting them.

That poor guy, not only was his girlfriend letting him have it, Rachael was brutal. I've been married six years and haven't gotten flowers since we were dating. It would be awesome if he brought home flowers while he was picking up the beer. He doesn't, but I love him anyway

These women don't deserve to have their men bring them flowers.

The woman who doesn't like roses tells Colby that upfront -- God forbid she have a gentle and honest conversation with the man for whom she's spreading her legs.

The flower segment would have been more effective if they'd focused on the Rebecca Kolls segment.

you know i was just thinking I was him, I go buy plastic flowers in Waltmart and give it to her and said here this for you because you complain to much about the flower i bought so decide to get you plastic flowers.

she is lucky that she got guy bought her flowers, I was talking with my husband I said to him when was the last i ever complain about you not buying me flowers and he turn around and he said not once i ever complaing to him. we still together and happy as always.

I agree with you all. I have been married for 7yrs and am happy when (and if) he brings flowers home. I always got the wild flower bundle and I love them better than roses personally. But if I was here and told him I didn't like roses then he should get the hint. If I were him I wouldn't buy her any for being so picky. lol.

Sometimes I wish I could be on the show just for all the great free stuff they get. We have to fight (giveaways) for them. lol
