How I did it:
My coursemates at uni were selling roses in conjunction with Valentine's Day to raise funds for charity and a friend supported their cause and had a dozen red roses dedicated to me. It was a really thoughtful gesture so I decided that the love should be shared with everyone else. I put stalks of red roses on the windscreens of random cars of strangers at the parking lot because I understand how stressful it is to find empty lots this semester. I thought that it would be great to put smiles on their faces when they walk back to their cars after a long day to find something pleasant :)

Lessons & tips:
I left the stalks of roses after 4pm because that's just right before the time when everyone leaves for home. Be sure not to place them too early in the day, especially if you live someplace where the weather is really erratic. You don't want the lovely roses to be ruined. Get them from wholesalers this season so that it reduces your cost or just use the flowers you receive this Valentine's Day season. Why have them dying in a vase on your desk when you could share the joy and make someone else happy? :)
