someone who's willing to go the route of "hey i dig you enough to put my mouth
there" wins more points in my book over someone who sticks a "thinking of you" card in a dozen of roses.
f*ck romance. get head.

I am starting to feel like the roses are a cop-out and sorta....eh. Like, roses. Come on. Not very inspired. Very hetero.
But I feel like sunflowers are gross and not everyone would actually LIKE sunflowers. Sure, they have more meaning, but...sunflowers? I would like them. Especially because of the meaning.
On a more decisive note they're going to be hand delivered by a friend/APO brother of mine to his birthday party, since I won't be there. (They live in the same city -- I don't. Don't worry, APO brother won't steal him from me)

are you more concerned with him being impressed and feeling romantic or immediately knowing who they're from? if the arrangement is being delivered by hand (and by a brother - nice!) then i would lean towards the roses if you're going for the romantic "wow" factor. people will go "ooh" and "aah" and i think even for a second hell be like "damn someone is feelin me!" if youre going for the "oh i know EXACTLY who those are from," go with the sunflowers. hopefully it will click instantly and the meaning isn't lost on the lucky guy.
