RALEIGH COUNTY -

Valentines day is Thursday, are you ready? Some are, others are scrambling.

59 News stopped by a Florist today for a look at what's going on.

Phones are ringing off the hook, even on Wednesday, at Webb's Florist in Beckley.

Florists tells us the only other busy day of the yea is Mothers Day, followed closely by Christmas.

They're busy getting last minute orders ready.

"Today was really the bad day because everybody wants their flowers tomorrow. And everybody is calling at the last minute. So I am strictly sitting writing orders and cards and passing off the orders to be made. If I'm lucky I get to assist in them being made," said florist assistant Ellen Walker.

Walker says the florist business is pretty busy all the time, not just because of holidays.
