Valentine’s Day can be stress time, especially for guys. We are not all expert in the romance department, no matter how much we like the lady. Finding the right V-day gift can be torture. Flowers are always a good choice, but buying flowers can be, well, embarrassing. (Why can't we just let her control the TV remote for a day?)

The current global economic debacle isn't making things any easier. If it’s tough to choose wisely when the coffers are full, how much tougher is it when the cupboard is bare?

Not to worry. Saving your bud with buds is what we’re about. We’ve got the stuff you need, whether it's navigating the curious confines of a florist's shop, decorating your place so it's a place she's happy to visit, or creating great gifts that won't bust the bankroll. We are the one-stop pre-shopping spot for all your V-Day advice.

(Not a young, single straight guy? Please visit this page..)

As we always say, girls like flowers. That's what this site is all about. Trust us, there are a gazzillion ways a smart guy can use flowers to get his bud in good with a gal, especially on Valentine's Day and regardless of his level of creativity or economic outlook. Knowing your way around flowers and those who purvey them is, in a word, smart! The scenarios on this site can show you how to use flowers to tackle tough situations.

We've added some sweet scenarios, You Need Professional Help will guide you through a trip to the florist, and Who's the Sexpot? will unleash your inner interior decorator to turn your place into a great place to bring a girl to.

For those of you looking to be liked more for less we refer you to Buds on a Budget. It's full of great ideas for fun and even fancy DIY floral gifts.

As you cruise the site, you'll notice we put two great weapons in your arsenal: potted flowers and cut flowers. Potted flowers are, well, in a pot. They are growing. Cut flowers are (yes, you’re getting it) cut. They are no longer officially growing, except tulips, but that’s another story.

Use this site any way you like. You can go directly to the flower information (cut flowers or potted flowers). Or you can look at our Scenarios section, and decide which bud’s right for yours.

And have a great V-day!
