As you mighthave guessed I'm feeling a bit cheated at the moment...
My suggestion here is 'never' to buy flowers for your other half.

Buy them once and you've set an level of expectation that you'll invariably be measured against. If you've never bought her flowers, you can never get the, 'you don't bring me flowers anymore' line.

There is also a chemical imbalance in some men's brains which causes them to only purchase flowers for their partners when they've done somethign really bad like cheating on them. Women know this and always view unsolicited flowers with an element of suspicion.

Cynical... well just a wee bit!
I've only bought my missus two bouquets of flowers. Once for the birth of our lil girl and once this year for her 25th.

Only on really special occasions so as not to set expectations
