Ah, the subtle approach always works.

As said I wouldn't care where they'd been bought from, just that someone cared enough to buy them for me

And agreed with both Piggy and Tak too - although it's a little embarrassing, it's a really good proud kind of embarrassment!

I am in agreement with the ladies here, doesn't matter how much they cost or where they ar from as long as they are nice flowers. I tend to use local florists rather than anything online, however, if I need to send something to someone far away I use M&S or Next.

Personally roses don't do it for me. I prefer irises, lilies or a nice mixed bouquet of chrysanthemums, carnations etc. Thats all down to personal taste though. If she is lucky enough that anyone bought her flowers she should be happy enough with anything

I agree with Matt. Flowers sent on Valentine's day may well be sent with the correct intentions but they're still being sent because it's expected. I prefer the surprise attack, shows them you care without having to be prompted by some commercial scam.

You can still do romantic stuff on Valentine's day - have a romantic meal at home, run a rose scented bath for your loved one etc. and leave the flowers for when they may be more appreciated.

To show someone you're interested, it's a bit more difficult not to be lured into the spendfest - maybe you could make something or find some original means of expressing your feelings (without being too tacky).

Not having a girlfriend, I usually treat my Mam to the odd surprise bunch of flowers (always makes her cry and gets me millions of brownie points).
I use Flowers Direct, they use one of the local florists in Shetland to supply and deliver the flowers and have a very high quality standard. I ordered flowers once and got an e-mail the day they were supposed to be delivered saying that the florist didn't have blooms of a high enough standard to send that day and as an apology, they would send a bouquet of a higher value with a free box of choccies thrown in the following day. Can't fault the service.

One of the few people I can rely on for unconditional love - that deserves special treatment

I suppose a lot of it depends on the girl in question. If she's the type who likes the idea of VD (Kittens idea, not mine

), then she probably would appreciate the gesture - and may well respond. If she's not, she might see it as a cynical attempt to get inside her knickers (worst case scenario).

As for the OP. I think the Asda ones would be absolutely fine. They look like nice enough flowers and if she likes them then you've found a girl who likes nice things as opposed to nice expensive things. If she thinks of you as a cheapskate for buying them from a supermarket then you've had a lucky escape from a life with a high maintenance, ungrateful bint.

I'd be happy with a bunch picked from the side of the road, me!

The kids' dad turned up once with a huge grin and a big bunch of daffs he'd scrumped from a local field! That was the only time he brought me flowers and I loved it!

Nothing says I love you like a bouquet of grass. Hand picked from the fields by that A road on the way.
