As Valentine's Day approaches, the Customs and Border Protection agriculture specialists are seeing approximately 83% of all cut flowers imported into the United States. They inspect the flowers to insure that imported flowers used in Valentine's Day bouquets are free from insects and diseases that could harm the agricultural and floral industries in the United States. Most of the flowers come from South American growers. (Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty Images)
