BOSTON (CBS) - Hundreds of orders have already been made at Olympia Flowers on Washington Street ahead of Valentine's Day.

Mark, a customer, came to buy flowers for his fiancée. He said he has decided to stay away from roses this year and that money is not an issue.
"I'm just waiting for her smile or call to say she's enjoying it," said Mark. "Her, being happy (makes it all worth it)."
Valentine's Day is on Monday.
