What’s the price of love this Valentine’s Day? If flowers are your love language, it’s about 80 bucks.

That’s the average cost of a dozen roses this year, which is a 22-percent increase over this time last year according to personal finance website The Balance.

Economic experts blame the price hike on a combination of supply chain issues and sky-high inflation. That’s why floral designer Brannon Blount told a Lynchburg television station that she’s doing her best with the inventory she’s got.

A LendingTree report says that American couples will spend over 200 dollars on each other this Valentine’s Day.
