I have received flowers on several occasions: when I was sick, birthdays, valentine's day, anniversaries, new job, apartment warming, and just because.
We used to buy fresh cut flowers every week. I loved picking out flowers and arranging them and I really enjoyed having them around because they added a lot of color to the room. Now, with 2 cats, they would just get eaten so it's not worth it. I would love to have potted plants, but my thumb has no green in it what-so-ever, I kill even the hardiest plant. I am going to try some sort of plant for my cubicle at work though. Just one more and then if it dies and I will just quit trying.
I enjoy looking at flowers in nature a lot better anyway. My favorite flowers are daisies and black-eyed susans. I also love orchids and have spent a lot of time in the orchid room at the conservatory in the park down the street. I really enjoy their fall mum display too.
I've never asked for flowers, if I wanted them I'd just buy some for myself.
Snowy, I agree that buying plants for the garden does not count as receiving flowers. Not even close really.
Meditrina: Maybe if you said that you'd like to have flowers every once in awhile it would happen. You wouldn't be giving a day you'd want them on so it would still be a surprise and he would be aware that you want them from time to time. Or you could just buy them for yourself.
