This is a great question. Well timed for Valentines Day. I rated it with a + . I think sending flowers shows that either he feels guilty or is trying to manipulate something.

flowers are just a simple reminder from a guy that he's still there. You can accept the flowers and forgive him, but then it's up to you if you still want to stick to him. Love is irrational, and it's not because of flowers that women forgive their men.

True and a good point, but I'm looking for situations when women accept flowers as a legitimate apology from their mates.

I am not a lady, but after reading everyones comments, I wanted to voice my views as a man about this topic. There is no misunderstanding here. It is true that men sometimes do feel guilty or are trying to manipulate something. It is also true that they sometimes send flowers as an apology, or that This man is still there, and maybe that, this women can forgive him depending on the problem and of course high reguard and opinion that should be considered along with what admiration, appreciation, devotion, affection, and love she might have toward that man.
Sometime a mans attentativeness, politeness, thoughtfulness and consideration is show with flowers for none of the reason above. And then again the man just might want to express a high opinion of, or hold in high reguard a lady he appreciates, or cherishs in a fondness that only flowers can create. A warmth of care, concern, devotion, passion, desire, or intimacy.
Some man are just compassionate caring, understanding, guys but concerned the women will still fry there knucklehead, if he cares for that women. After all some man are numbskulls, lamebrained, and pudding-heads, as I have been call. So what do man do about it...Send flowers. Why, they realize what they did.
Woman like man have a choice, forgive him or not forgive him for sending flowers. They can choose to pardon, and harbour no grudge agaist the man. They can choice to bury the hatchet, let bygones be bygones, or go easy on Man. They can ignore, overlook, disregard those flowers sent or they can agree to let pass, turn a blind eye to, or wink at that man depending on the seriousness of the forgive that is requested by the man.
But in the end, it all depends on the reasons that women would except flowers, is this man a warm-hearted, kind, affectionate, good-natured, loving, tender, sincere, wholehearted, genuine man, or in the wrong, at blame, or fault, and responsible in an accountable way by sending flowers to repentant in a remorseful why to the women mortified by the mans move, gesture, and behaviour.
What ever happens to your man when he does something wrong, Flowers are not always acceptable as an apology. When are flowers not enough...when the women has come to the conclusion that they are not enough, moods nor feeling can change that spirit. No matter how beautiful the flowers are or how many are sent, or how long they keep coming. You can't change or mold people you can only hope for the best but in the end, only love and forgiveness can make those flowers meaningful, when that aura is absent, you pass into oblivion. Men and women both learn when its acceptable as an apology and when flowers are not enough.

I honestly think that gifts to say I am sorry are always wrong. I think if you truly are sorry that your words and your actions should be enough. giving a gift each time you make a mistake send the message that you are trying to buy forgivness.. and maybe you are, but for someone like me I preferr a simple heart felt I am sorry over gifts any day. Flowers and other small gifts should be saved for the days when you were thinking of the person you love. Not when your are in "the dog house" so to speak.

I agree with you. I was actually trying to get reponses with reasons that women would accept flowers as an apology like..he showed up a little late for a date and brought flowers or he forgot to make reservations at a restaurant you wanted to go to and you couldn't get in and sent you flowers the next day...stuff like that. I should have explained more.
Thank you for responding.

first of all I must admit that I simply love flowers...I think they're one of the nicest present a girl can receive...I like studying the secret languages of flowers,too...this is to say that when I receive flowers I'm always moved inside..this might be a problem because the guilty guy may take advantage of this feeling of mine...anyway..as a matter of fact ..if flowers come as an apology, I think I would appreciate them for what they are (I mean an apology) depending on the kind of argument we had..if it was only a silly argument or a little problem, I would regard them as a sign he thought about the question and want to do something better in the future..if the problem is bigger or very hurtful, well of course flowers are not enough

Exactly..who doesn't like to get flowers from their guy.
It is obviousely better if he sends them just because, but when he makes a little mistake and sends or brings them to us, it does feel good. Of course we can't forgive the serious things with just flowers but it doesn't hurt to get them anyway.
Thank you for responding.
