I used to be somewhat religious with my floral deliveries to the wife. V-day, most birthdays, always anniversary, and random days in between just 'because I love you'. She always appreciated the gesture and always made a point to tell me how all the girls at work were jealous. I knew that when she recieved flowers at work she got all giddy and smiley and ****, so that alone was what made it worth every penny.
Personaly, as a guy, I don't really get the idea behind sending flowers. I mean, yeah I understand why women like them, but in the end you are sending a pile of vegetation to someone as a token of affection. Sure it might be pretty vegetation, but it'll still be compost in a fortnight.
One time back when I was a kid hauling drywall for a living my wife(future wife at the time) sent me flowers at work for my birthday. It really didnt' like it and it took every ounce of self control not to cuss her out for it when I got home. Instead I got to swallow my pride and tell her how nice it was and how pretty they were, but that I'm really not a flower guy.
Oh, almost forgot the important part!
V-day was 1 doz. long stemmed Peach Roses.
Anniversary was 2.
Birthdays were floral arrangements, always with peach roses included.
I-love-you days were floral arrangements with daisies and violets(when available).
