Delphinium "Purple Passion"
Hybrid Tea Rose "Summer of Love" 
Iris "My Valentine"
Iris "Crazy In Love"There are multitudes of "LOVEly" sounding names for many different kinds of plants. As a Valentine treat all year long, consider a theme garden centered around love.
Honestly, there must be millions of plants where the names are variations on love. Roses and Iris have enough examples to fill the average garden ten times over. Annuals have even got into the love game.
Whether you want to stick with strictly old fashioned love examples (such as "My Pretty Valentine" iris), the celebration of love (such as clematis "Pink Campaign"), or travel down the road of naughty and nice (such as salvia "Hot Lips"), there's something for everyone.
Throw in a few plants that are named after the people in your life you love (such as daylily "Grace"). Add an outdoor speaker, put on your favorite love song and it's a summer evening made in Heaven!
Images of roses are from Jackson and Perkins, iris from Schriner's Iris Gardens, and the delphinium from Select Seeds.
