A Romantic Way to Give Flowers
Any gift of flowers is romantic, but a nationwide survey suggests that women find flowers given "for no reason at all" more romantic than ones given on traditional occasions such as Valentine's Day. As an added bonus, flowers are most expensive during traditional flower-giving holidays and cheaper at other times. There are many creative and romantic ways to give flowers. Try as many as possible.

Choose flowers for their meaning. From the Renaissance through the 19th century, each flower meant something special. Consider the forget-me-not to signify true love or yellow and orange roses to suggest passion. Accompany the flowers with a book or card explaining what they mean.

Tips & Warnings
It's the thought that counts. When a young boy gives a schoolmate a daisy, it can be more romantic than when a rich businessman has a assistant order a $100 exquisite floral arrangement for his wife. Show that you are putting time and effort into making your lover happy.
Be sensitive to your lover's tastes. Find out about allergies and issues with scents before you select flowers. Be especially careful to avoid flowers that might injure pet owners' animal companions.
