From generation to generation, women have always loved receiving the gift of flowers. Simply put, flora are a symbol of life and beauty and thus, when received, women don't just feel vibrant and full of life, they feel beautiful and incredibly special.

Showing her your love with a specially-made bouquet will only increase her affection for you, and make her feel like she's still the most important person in your life. In turn, you will reap the benefits as it will be her pleasure to reciprocate the feelings you garnered her with.
I'm Not So Sorry
Obviously, flowers go a long way when it comes to apologies and special occasions, but for the most part, the best time to give her flowers is when there's no occasion at all. When you buy her roses because you messed up, although the gesture is still wonderful, it's evident that it's a cry for forgiveness.

But if you buy her flowers just because you want her to know that you love her and think of her constantly, she'll feel more attractive and appreciated like never before. The element of surprise (considering there really is no special occasion) will also add to her pleasant revelation.
Flower Breakdown
For future reference, this is what the following popular flowers generally represent:

Bamboo
Good Luck

It's quite likely that she won't know what each flower represents, so perhaps your best bet is to specify what they mean in the card attached to the bouquet, and tell her why you chose them. Now there are some real bonus points.

You probably just want to buy something and get it over with, right? Here are some ideas...

A Flower For Every Occasion
It makes sense to give your lover roses when you screw up, but it isn't logical to hand a dozen, long-stem, red ones to your co-worker just because she's been doing a great job. Although it's the thought that counts, there's still a proper flower for every person.

Girlfriend, Fiancée, Wife
As roses are the sign of love and passion, why not surprise her with Red Roses? If your woman loves romantic gifts, she'll love this bouquet of flowers. Or if she prefers a variety, then give her the Beloved Bouquet Bouquet.

If you're tired of constantly giving her a bouquet of flowers, let a gift basket speak for itself. A Cookie Bouquet will surely get the message across loud and clear.

If you're celebrating some kind of anniversary together (first kiss, first phone call, whatever), then the Stunning Beauty Bouquet covers all angles and she won't have the chance to say this is a last-minute gift (even if it is).

Family Members
With Mother's Day coming up soon, surprise your mumsy with the FTD Florist Designed Bouquet. This will secure all the turkey you can handle for every upcoming Thanksgiving and Christmas from this point forward. I love my mommy.

If your sister is always complaining that you never think of her -- except when you need a favor -- then Yellow Roses will do the trick. Let your sis know that you care about her, even if you don't always show it.

Don't forget about granny and all those times she secretly gave you candy before dinnertime. Some Daisies will show her how important she is to you. And besides, she makes the sweetest potato pie in the neighborhood.

Co-Worker, Employee
You think your employees deserve merit for a job well done? Well, the Fresh Fruit & Cheese Basket and the Mrs. Fields Ultimate Smile Box are just a few great ways to show them your appreciation.

If your goal is to brighten up the office, then the Daisy Chrysanthemum will surely bring sunshine into the workplace. What else is a variety of five flowers supposed to do?
The Best Method
Now there are a number of ways to go about getting the flowers to your lady. Remember, whatever you do, your goal is to make her feel great. And what better way to do so than by showing the world that she is the love of your life?

Deliver Them Yourself
Why don't you pick up the flowers from the shop and bring them over to her place? You can help her place them in water and then place her somewhere else. Or better yet, bring them over to her work and show all her colleagues not only what a great guy you are, but also, what a great gal she is and how lucky you are to have her.

Special Delivery
Have them delivered to her while you're at her place and see the element of surprise as she reads the card. Not only will she feel like a million dollars, but she'll also want to make you feel the same way.

Or, you can have them delivered to her work bright and early. Everyone within earshot (and eyeshot) will be curious as to who sent her flowers. She will be ecstatic and more than glad to share the news that, "My boyfriend bought me flowers just because he loves me." Now, isn't that sweet?

Whatever the reason, send her flowers today to show her that you love and appreciate her like no other, and watch your relationship blossom.
