I can't even remember. It must be years and years. He does bring me tea in bed most mornings though so I mustn't complain. Unless we're having an argument wink. But I do miss the flowers... Are your OH's prone to romantic gestures?

DH buys flowers for my birthday and anniversaries these are specially prepared bouquets. I've asked him not too but he says he likes spoiling me smile He also randomly comes home from town with a simple bunch from the florist, he did this two weeks ago. I so love that man.

He brought flowers to the hospital when first baby was born, in 1963,..........zipped up in a shopping bag so nobody would see him carrying flowers! The next time was on our silver wedding, in 1988. That was also the last time!

Aww, it seems that most British men aren't exactly Mr Romantic.Men are from Mars as we well know, and what goes on in their heads is a mystery.

Every birthday, Valentine's and anniversary.
Definitely less is more, I tell him to go to M & S ....but he always has them delivered from our local florist...who sings happy birthday to me (on my birthday)

DH does buy me chocolates (Green and Blacks) randomly and at Christmas (posh ones). But cut flowers? I think 1989 when I was in hospital after a back operation.

My DH buys me flowers regularly - I hope that doesn't sound yukky! He knows I like to have flowers in the house and he has always picked some up when he is out shopping. Now I usually choose my own but he always says 'let me give you the money for those'. Not exactly romantic but the thought is there bless him.

I once carried a really huge bunch of flowers from Brussels to Scotland to my Mother, it was the days before the low cost airlines so the attendants on the flight were wonderful, although I think the Taxi driver in Scotland thought I was mad. They filled 5 vases in the sitting room she loves flowers.
The following day when a friend of hers was admiring them and asked where they came from she said ' I cannot remember, a lot of people give me flowers. Last time ever.

I dont actually like flowers that much, so he knows not to bother.
I suppose I like them more than I used to.

rosequartz Mon 14-Sept-15 19:14:56

He used to occasionally

Come to think of it, I haven't had any in a long while
Must be going wrong somewhere

Teetime hope you are better now, it's horrible!

felice grin also sad

Yes, not regularly as such, in fact two days ago he came home with a very pretty plant in a pot. He usually buys them in the winter, he knows how much I miss seeing the garden in flower.
