Perhaps he is a bit shy? Of course presenting them to you would be more romantic. Does he know it would mean as lot to you if he did it s little differently? Could be part of a general discussion about what makes each of you feel loved. There is s great book, The 5 Languages of Love, which is quite fun and enlightening on this sort of thing. 
Yes, be grateful you get flowers, my DH could plonk away, he wouldn't think to buy me flowers, ever, plonking is all I do when I buy my own 
When my mother was in a nursing home family members would visit with large bunches of flowers, grab the nearest vase and just shove them in. It used to infuriate me because I would then be the one stripping the lower leaves, trimming the stems and changing the water. If I didn't take the trouble, the water would soon be green and smelly and the flowers wouldn't last.
When I plucked up the courage to mention this to my sis-in-law she said, 'Oh but we want to spend our time talking to her and in any case we know how much you love flower arranging and you're so much better at it!' 
I’ve had a rubbish week, with a heavy cold and a chesty cough keeping me awake every night. Husband brought back some flowers yesterday which was a kind gesture. He plonked them, untrimmed, in the blue vase, which was fine. Today, I still don’t feel great, but I’m up and about - so I trimmed the flowers and put them in the pink jug. He won’t notice. I appreciate his kindness. I expect your husband thought he was doing you a favour, unwrapping and putting in a vase?
Better than a poke in the eye with a blunt stick.....
