Don't really have a story for this post, just wondering if any women out there who enjoy getting flowers as a gift from their man? I mean someone has to hold romance true to the heart still.

Romance is best expressed by finding out what SHE likes, and giving her that. Some women like flowers; some are allergic, or think they're a waste, or that it's sad the flowers had to die. And almost nobody likes a cheap bunch of carnations and baby's breath from the grocery store.

I'd totally love it. I doubt many girls'd dislike it.

In my experience, women love to receive flowers, but only from the right man.

I have hayfever and I think flowers are boring and pointless. They look nice for a day and then they die. I'd rather have something that wasn't so generic and was aimed at me, like a book or a dvd boxset of a programme I like, or a poster. Those things last a lot longer as well.

Probably our humanoid grandmothers used to eat flowers when the males went to hunt.

I like flowers, and men also like to get flowers.I take a bouquet from my flower garden when I visit someone.The males enjoyed the gift as much as the girls.
I think a mixed bouquet is more attractive than a dozen bland roses.It says more about the giver,it's more personal and not as generic.
I like flowers that smell,but I guess some people with sensory issues or allergies may not enjoy them.I enjoy the smell of gardenias,honeysuckle ,iris,lilly, and roses.

I guess everyone has a different way of being romantic, or wanting to be romanced. In all honesty I belive that love should be expressed through action and no through materiel things.

Plantable seed confetti would be far more interesting and less damaging to the environment.(I'm talking about the industry, not the soon to be dead/smelly flowers) Maybe flowers PICKED BY HAND would be sweet.

Ohhh I thought you meant BUYING a bouquet of flowers, not actually picking them yourself.

That's a very sweet thing to do.
