Andres Ich, a sales executive at a flower farm, checks roses to be sent to Russia from Cayambe, 90 km (miles) north of Quito February 10, 2009. Growers in the region expect sales to fall as consumers in the United States, Britain and Russia cut back on extras, but some think a simple bouquet of roses, carnations or lilies may end up replacing more luxurious tokens of love on Valentine's Day. [Agencies]
