Chuck Corbitt, CEO of Corbitt Manufacturing, a top mulch supplier, told TIME that some of his mulch--including bags labeled FLORIDAGOLD--comes from Louisiana cypress but denied that it originates in endangered coastal forests.

Let’s be serious: Valentine’s Day has kind of screwed itself over. Paper cards, stale candy, and the cheapest flower that money can buy: it’s inherently kind of insulting to receive these things in earnest from someone you’re romantically involved with.
