News just in...... A Flower Wholesaler in Norfolk reported exceptionally high demand for Red Roses at 5am this morning.
558 alone were ordered by a Military chappie wishing to show his love and devotion to a certain lady.
This quantity was totally unexpected and more than rivals the demand shown in this rural area of England around Valentines day.
When asked about his purchase, the gentleman (who wished to remain anonymous) said he had a "special presentation" to do later in the day.
Florists in the area have also reported huge demand for Roses, so some sort of local ritual is thought to be involved in the upsurge.
TV crews and reporters have been sent to the area to investigate the high demand at this unusual time of year.
A spokesman for the wholesaler said "I could not believe it when this guy turned up at the crack of day. He wiped me out of my entire stock. He must have got into a bit of a thorny issue with his loved one and wants to make ammends".
"I have never run out like this before - it is most embarassing, so guess I will just have to put it all behind me and make sure I have sufficient stock for the next time".
Will have to look out for updates!
