Where There Are No Roses for Valentine

Yesterday, I was at the Flowers Blossom at #2 Olosa Street, on the Victoria Island in Lagos, to discuss my love book and roses for the Valentine. They told me that roses were scarce in Nigeria, so lovers have to exchange other flowers. I pointed at the rose I saw right in front of me.
"It is only for our decoration," they said.

I left and told my Sweetest and I wonder why we cannot grow roses in Nigeria as roses flourish in Kenya.
