It's really the thought that counts! Though I would probably give more credit if he went and bought them himself and presented them in person.

Actually, I recieved a dozen "buff" colored roses a couple of days ago It was very nice.

I agree that it's the thought that counts, and it is nice. Getting flowers lets you know that someone is thinking about you and wanted to take the time to send something pretty. It's especially fun getting flowers at work, because then you have everyone asking "Who sent flowers?" and you get to tell them about the awesome person who sent them!

Thumbs up I love flowers!

Getting flowers is the best--especially when they come as a surprise, for no particular occasion except to say "I love you."

The first time my husband (then boyfriend) took me to meet his sister and brother-in-law, he woke me up with breakfast in bed and a single rose. It is still one of the most romantic things he ever did.

Another time, we were going skiing in Santa Fe, and when we arrived at our hotel he had 2 dozen roses waiting in the room.

I absolutely love flowers whenever, where ever.

Talking Flowers are the best!!

I love getting flowers! True, all a guy has to do is call, but it's always a nice surprise that brightens your day! I love when my bf sends me flowers-which he's not been doing on a regular basis anymore...hmm... ..anyhoo-it's always such a surprise and he knows just which are my favorites( gerbera daisies!!). Plus, then I get to have flowers in my apartment, which is something I usually wouldn't buy for myself.

On another note, I also love to send him flowers at work-I don't do it much, because I'm broke as a joke-but I think he likes it. Well, at least he better...

I like flowers and think theyre romantic just as long as they're not sent like daily - i prefer to have flowers surprise me! as a special, he went out of the way to remind me that he loves me type of way. plus, there has to be a sweet card *preferably in his handwriting* to accompany the flowers, otherwise they aren't as special to me.

I love getting flowers whether he sends them at work, home, or in person. Like everyones said, it's the thought that counts.

Flowers are Romantic Because . . .

Flowers are Romantic . . .

Seriously though, Flowers have a certain symbolic magic because our culture invests them with romantic mystery. Like your engagement ring . . . I could get you an engagement necklace with 10 carats worth of high cut diamonds surrounded by other prescious gems in a personally dignificant arrangement. . . but what girl would want that in lieu of a ring? Why? Because our culture invests certain items with magic.

I could send you a pretty block of wood instead of flowers . . . but its just not the same. Plus, lets face it, its an effort for us guys to be creatively romantic, so it takes some of the pressure off of us if we know what to get you for certain occasions

Just an observation, but hey, what do I know . . .

Unless you happen to be the unluckiest SOB and sent her the one flower that she is allergic to. Not that it happen to me or anything.

timing is definitely key

I think a good time to send flowers would be:

* After a few dates

* flowers given to a girl when shes having a bad day or if shes not feeling her best.

Yes, I love flowers and find them romantic UNLESS (all true)

You stole them from a funeral wreath
They are dead or dying with the petals falling off
You pulled up some weeds-roots and all- and THOUGHT they were flowers-(not romantic, but sweet and funny)

My father would bring 3 carnations-a red one for my mother (love and passion) a pink one for my older sister (blushing innocence)
and a candy stipe for me (innocence with a hint of what was to come) He never did this one commercial holidays, just out of the blue.

Thumbs up Buff Roses

Alpha Gamma Delta's flowers are Red and Buff roses. Because Buff roses are hard to find, we usually use yellow..

So..to get a dozen "buff" roses is extra, extra special!!

What a terrific guy!

My boyfriend brought me flowers last night.

I don't know about the rest of you, but they sure as hell impressed me.
