When was the last time your significant other surprised you with flowers? It could be an ordinary day - not Valentine, birthday or other anniversaries. I should also ask if the giving of flowers is still popular - except on those mentioned dates - like anniversaries etc.
I think it is more popular in some cultures (I have received very few in my life time) 
Men - do you like surprising your special someone with flowers or do you consider it a bit old fashioned?

I told my wife that we just plant flowers, it's longer lasting, does not wilt and we can pick it together anytime whole year round that's how practical and and unromamtic I am lol but she loves my idea so we have a couple of flowers in our garden that we both take care of., the surprise part is a new potted specie.to add to the collection from time to time.

I couldn't tell you. really. I usually get some kind of gift like a potted plant which may or may not be flowering.

Those were the days when I expected red roses all the time - bad influence of reading too much Mills and Boon. My husband believed in surprising me such as washing the dishes in the kitchen when the maid did not turn up

i received a bouquet of red roses from the father of my son in Kuwait. to my enthusiasm, i placed the flowers in a makeshift plastic bottle and put a tablet of aspirin to keep it fresh.
the next day, the flowers withered. that is the disadvantage of having 'hot' hands.

@Kandae11 ahaha. no, he bought the bouquet from a flower shop there. he visited me in my flat. i placed the roses in a bottle, hoped it won't wither, but it did.
.........just like our relationship.... it withered.

My husband hasn't surprised me with flowers in a long time. That would be nice at least once or twice a month just because.

@Kandae11 After being together for 12 years I shouldn't have to give him any hints. IDK...

My husband, never had an ounce of romance in his soul. So the answer is no.

The first and last time I got flowers from a man was my first date. It wasn't a bad date but we only met the once.

He sent me flowers which he ordered online. I was still in the Philippines and he was here in America.
Now, that my daughter and I have been with him for 6 years now, only once that he had flowers delivered lastg year, my birthday.
I wish if men will not be consistent from start to finish they better not even start at all.

My hubby gave me flowers on our wedding anniversary last January. I expected for some during valentine's day and mother's day but no flowers came from him much to my disappointment. I love flowers and I really wish he would give me some during special days.

In my culture giving flowers to a loved one is a custom. I have never been given flowers; however, I have given flowers to someone-a girl

It has been a long time, I do remember he giving me a rose when my first son was born. He does other nice things for me so I am not too offended that he hasn't bought me flowers in a long long time.

When we were first married I told my husband we couldn't afford such things. Years later I told him we were doing better now but I think that maybe all those years of refraining caused him to forget how, lol.
I would be happier if he helped with some cleaning periodically.
