MIAMI - FEBRUARY 10: U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agriculture Specialists Michael Gilson looks at a sheet of paper for insects after shaking a batch of flowers above it in the Arrow Cargo building at the Miami International Airport February 10, 2010 in Miami, Florida. 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)
