Buy roses for Valentine's and support NPR

By Marcia Pounds February 12, 2009 10:43 AM

Through Field of Flowers, WLRN Radio is offering a sweetheart deal: 18 red roses for your Valentine for a $100 pledge to the local National Public Radio station.

If you really want to splurge and impress your girl, get 30 roses for a $150 pledge. Both rose purchases come in a glass sphere.

If your love likes roses and you like tax deductions, this is a win-win.

But go to WLRN.org.

The roses will be delivered Friday, Feb. 13, -- the day before V-day -- to lucky recipients in Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade counties. -- Marcia "Bargain Hunter" Pounds
