Taiwan
February 9, 2017
Taiwan focuses on flowers for Valentine’s day, as this is what Taiwan is famous for. Here, the men are expected to give bouquets of flowers to their loved ones. The number and colors of the flowers tell an important message, according to Taiwanese tradition. Red roses represent “an only love,” 99 roses expresses “love forever,” and 108 roses, yes that exact number, signifies “Will you marry me?”
