Jeanie Hall, right, and her daughter, Jackie Hall-Weiland, both co-owners of Showcase Florist in Fayetteville, work to prepare roses for St. Valentine's Day at the shop.
At the former Red Hibiscus florist here in town, I spent time with a florist as she, like Hall, stripped much of the thorns from a barrel of roses ahead of St. Valentine's Day. I took a photograph at the instant the young woman ran her hand over several thorns. The sour face that she made was really funny, and I always think of that photo when I am sent to a florist in the days leading up to the holiday.
