(Fargo, ND) -- Valentine's Day is coming up and experts warn supply chain issues could put a damper on the holiday.  

A perfect storm of bad weather and a global glass vase and flower shortage is hitting florists at just the wrong time. And if you do get those flowers, expect to pay more.

Rising inflation means the price of a dozen roses is up 22-percent from last year. Numbers compiled by the personal finance site The Balance show the price of a 12-ounce box of chocolates up nine-percent from 2021 and if it's a romantic meal you're planning, the price of a premium steak is up a whopping 154-percent.  

Valentine's Day is Monday, February 14th.
