These flowers are bloomin' lovely!

Okay men. The ladies have spoken...

...And they love the flowers that you pick out! A small (and very unofficial) Facebook poll conducted on Piggy Bank Dating's page confirms that we beautiful ladies love receiving flowers that you put a little thought into! Maybe you found out her favorite type of flower and made sure you had a bouquet made primarily of those. Or maybe you pick out different flowers that reminded you of her. Whatever the case...keep it up! We're loving those fresh (sometimes "low maintenance") flowers! It's such a sweet and lovely gesture of your affection.

Just a little Friday morning encouragement!

Ladies, what are YOUR favorite flowers to receive from your man? And MEN: do you have any suggestions for other guys when picking out flowers?

Cheap (but not in quality) Flowers

There is a florist in town who sells $5 bunches of flowers. $5?! (That totally fits into most budgets!) I checked it out today and was pleasantly surprised to discover that the $5 bunches included bouquets of roses, sunflowers, irises, gerber daisies, etc. Then I thought about how easy it would be for a boyfriend/fiancee/husband to pick up a fresh bouquet of flowers for his girl...for cheap! I mean, I know this isn't a brand-new concept...the whole guy brings girl flowers thing...but the practice should be renewed. And not just for getting out of the doghouse. Or on Valentine's Day (when prices are five times higher than normal).

Check with your florists and find out what deals they may have for in-season bouquets. I'm sure most girls would love to get a bouquet of five irises (or maybe I'm just speaking for myself)...

You can never go wrong with roses!
