This only works in small towns. In cities, people hardly even recognize you from week to week, and if they do, are afraid that a remark like that will get them written up. Sad.
Supermarket florist display and fragrance here reminds me of funerals. Then I mentally list all my deceased friends….forgetting what I was shopping for.
I was helping a friend move a load of plants in my truck, they told me to pick out something as a thank you, I went home with a miniature rosebush for my wife and my 6 year old daughter asked me what I had done wrong this time.
Depends on the colour being given as to what crime had been accomplished and how it will predictably affect homelife. Degrees of wrongness are regular considerations in my life : D

Maybe that’s why there is nothing “wrong” at home.

there’s a florist department in the grocery store I work at… it’s near the produce and the cashiers

On occasions when I’ve bought roses from the grocery store, my wife always complains “Big whoop, you went to the grocery store!”

My wife likes live plants, not dead flowers. It took three trips in the van to move all of the potted plants.

Mrs always tells me “DON’T BUY ME FLOWERS!!!! Spend the $$$ on something I am not going to throw away in 3 to 5 days!”

My reply is usually “No, not that I know of, but you know how wives are. This is just because I care but it can do double duty if needed.”

Now that I’m shopping at Aldi I do that more often. (The flowers are in a more visible location.)

Pluggers just like flowers.

I walked into house and couldn’t see flowers but knew. The fragrance from the Farmer’s market was all over house.

They are still better than “gas station roses”. :)
