Flower traders on Grafton Street have revealed that business is quiet this year as people continue to work from home.
The stalls are draped with lovely red and pink roses for Valentine's Day, but business has been slow in comparison to other years according to Catherine Caffey, a flower trader on Grafton Street.
She explained: "It's very quiet. I think it's because we haven't got everybody back working in the offices right now. So when people come back to the offices, maybe next year it will be better. But this year is very quiet.
"We could have them here [the flowers] for up to five to six days. We expect everything to last about two weeks."
Explaining how it feels when unsold flowers die, Catherine said it's "very hard to look at them".
The stall owner, who inherited it from her mother and now works there with her daughter, said that the table she uses is "falling apart" but is the last bit of her mother left on the street.
"My mother was here for 60 years," Catherine explained.
"She's gone now. She passed away 17 years ago."
It was a true family affair at Catherine's stall on Valentine's Day as her husband Tony was there along with their daughter.
Poking fun at Tony, Catherine joked: "I think the romance is gone out of him now since Covid. I used to wake up and there used to be a Valentine's card and a note for me but that didn't happen for me today.
"There'll be no steak for him tonight."
