Feb 12, 2008 BANG FOR THE BITE If 10,000 Biters choose organic roses for Valentine's Day instead of conventionally grown ones, we'll avert the weight of 508 human hearts in pesticides. COCKTAIL FACTOID Orchids get their name from the Greek word orchis, meaning testicle. LIKE THIS TIP? Then check out . . .The Aphrodisiacs TipThe Edible Flowers Tip RATE THIS TIP How useful is this tip?(5 is the highest) 1 2 3 4 5 Wanna use your true love's heart for target practice? The Bite Ready...aim... They'll bloomin' keel over when you surprise 'em with a bouquet of beautiful, organic flowers. Just keep the defibrillator handy. The Benefits TLC for the planet. In CA alone, nearly 800,000 lb of pesticides are used on conventional flower farms each year. Just smelling the roses. When you inhale the scent of nonorganic flowers, you're probably inhaling some poisonous chems as well. A little love for workers, including those in Central and South America, where exposure to pesticides is less controlled than the United States. Personally Speaking Heather once received a disturbing flower basket that included a white, stuffed teddy bear for Valentine's. She really shoulda taken that as a sign. Wanna Try? Organic Bouquet - organic Valentine's-ready flowers, including the World's Tallest Roses. Note: flowers don't come arranged ($40-$250). FTD and 1-800-Flowers - the nation's biggest flower retailers now have eco- and fair-trade bouquet options ($36-$70). Sam's Club Fair Trade Roses - yeah, it's a big-box store, but if you shop at the Club anyway, you can now get four varieties of fair-trade, eco, cut roses ($65). Local Harvest - lists flower farmers in your area where you might be able to snag local, in-season buds. Veriflora - bouquets marked with this label contain sustainably grown flowers from socially responsible growers. DIY Bite: Go to your local nursery and pick up living, potted flowers for your sweet-tart.
