Well, it's Valentine's Day. When all male schmucks are supposed to by flowers for their sweeties. While it's nice to let your loved one know you care, you shouldn't be dictated to do so on a certain day, and if your significant other is one of those 'If you don't get me something I know you don't love me' types, dump that bitch as soon as possible. The best way to express your love is to do it when they least expect it.
Now, when it comes to Valentine's Day, I know a little about it, being in the flower industry. There's no shortage of dolts who wait until the 14th to order flowers, and of course they want them delivered, and of course they want it by a certain time. This is the single busiest flower day of the year for florists, and they will almost NEVER get your flowers there on time. A few suggestions for the idiots out there still tethered to a woman who wants flowers on V-Day. One, order well in advance. At LEAST a week. Two, don't specifiy a time. If you absolutely need them delivered to her place of work so everyone can see how fucking special she is, make sure your bitch is at work until at least 7pm. If you tell a florist they have to be there by noon, good luck, even if you DO order a week early. Lastly, make sure your order is going to a REAL FLORIST, and not some website you googled. If you want full value for your money, make sure you're ordering from a florist that has an actual building and does deliveries in the area you want. Ordering from a website is a sure way to NOT get what you ordered, and have it NOT get there when you want.
You have to expect the worst. That your flowers won't get there on time, or maybe not even on that day. If that happens, don't scream bloody murder at the florist. If you've never worked in a flower shop, you have no idea how crazy the week of V-Day is. Be prepared, and your honey should be also, that the flowers won't get there. If you're flowers are late or have to be postponed a day, just call the florist and they'll usually refund you the delivery fee, if not more (ie adding more flowers, an apology note from the florist that it wasn't your fault, etc).
Thankfully, my girl knows I DO NOT order flowers for V-Day delivery. She gets them at weird times, like a Tuesday in June, for no reason at all. It means a lot more, trust me, and the blow job you'll get after is totally worth it.
