Fathers day...flowers?

stingeylass

I was trying to decide what to get my dad for fathers day and had the idea that i might send him some flowers. I know it's a bit unusual to send flowers to a man but i don't see any reason why it shouldn't be done, and everyone likes flowers, right?
But are there any particularly "manly" flowers that i should go for?:rotfl:
Or are flowers a bad idea for a fathers day gift?

Depends on your Dad, just asked my 88year old Dad what he thought and he said not bloody likely, puffy idea sending blokes flowers yet last year he was delighted to reeive Geranium plants for the conservatory

Hiya, flowers show how much you care and everyone loves them.
How good are you at crafts! On the web is lots of templates for things like best dad award and printable medals that say no. 1 dad etc...
The best gift is your time, prehaps offer to spend the afternoon helping in the garden(you could be the one to put the kettle on!).

Gerberas are good sstrong looking solid flowers! Available in many many colours!

Get something a litle more structural and modern like - curly bamboo, strelitzia and anthuriums.

Does he do gardening normally? You could send him something from a garden catalogue perhaps.

My OH,late Dad or FIL wouldnt appreciate flowers....wouldnt say so but would probably moan to someone else.
I will be sticking to alcohol......never goes to waste or complained about.

It's definitely chocolate not flowers in this household, although potted plants are somehow acceptable as are DVD's or books!
