This Valentine's Day, Romantic couples will have to spend 15% more on flowers and gifts

Many families planning to mark the occasion on Tuesday are forecast to spend less on loved ones in the face of rising inflation throughout the economy. Higher energy prices largely attributed to Russia's takeover of Ukraine, with the cost of gas increasing sixfold. It means flower growers in Holland have seen significant rises in energy bills to heat the glasshouses that grow roses, tulips, chrysanthemums, and many other common flowers. Many growers have closed down their greenhouses, resulting in a drop in supplies. Wholesalers have been compelled to switch to imports from South America and Africa, which have high transportation costs. The bulk of these products are imported via Holland and, after Brexit, they will carry a tariff. With florists passing this year, the net result has been to raise the wholesale price of red roses and other flowers by 10-15%.

On Monday afternoon, Ann Arbor police discovered the remains of Adriana Davidson, 15, near the Pioneer High School athletic fields, four days after she was declared missing. On Friday, her family began looking for her after she stopped responding to text messages and phone calls and then later failed to return to her Scio Township home. Her phone was later discovered near the school's tennis courts and was returned to a friend, and Anthony Lopez said on Saturday night that a student told her best friend that they saw her at the bus stop with a black sweatshirt and black pants, and "they didn't appear to know each other." Authorities, on the other hand, do not suspect foul play in Davidson's death.
