We in Austria have Valentines Day too, but I brought no flowers
to my mother, as it is a day for the gardeners. As there are
many days to celebrate we can install a ConchDay for the
shellers for protection of the gardensnails, which are not
loved by the gardeners.
This can be a day in spring when the first snails are coming
out after wintertime.
with best greetings, also by the flowers worldwide.
