February 14 is celebrated as Valentine's Day, dedicated to romantic love between two people. Valentine's Day is commemorated by exchanging messages of romantic love and gifts of candy, flowers and donations to charity.
Named after two early martyrs of the Christian faith, it wasn't until the Middle Ages, and the tradition of courtly love and Saint Valentine's Day became associated by Geoffrey Chaucer in his poem 'Parlement of Foules' in 1382, to honor the engagement of Richard II and Anne of Bohemia.
For this was seynt Volantynys day
Whan euery bryd comyth there to chese his make [choose his mate].

Viennese artist Gustav Klimt's "The Kiss" is characteristic of his extravagant and highly embellished work. With only the hands and faces of the couple in view, the great swirls of gold express the value of love.

George Washington
b. 2-22-1732
George Washington was the first president of the United States. He is commemorated with the Washington Monument in Washington, DC.
The cherry tree is also associated with a story about Washington's innate honesty: as a child George had practiced with his new hatchet on a valuable cherry tree - when questioned if he had cut the tree down, he didn't lie, and took the punishment. Thus February was chosen a National Cherry Month.
The cherry trees in the print were a gift from Japan.
