A woman after my own heart.

Girl's viewpoint. I assume that these roses were for her, and actually got to her.

If not, and you are not clear on this point contact your lawyer now, and preferably drain the joint bank account as a precautionary methord in the event that she has not donoe so first!

If I discovered that Him Indoors was sending roses to another woman (or another man for that matter) he and the kitchen poker would make contact.

Two days after they are $5 to $10 a dozen at many of the local shops. I grow roses in the summer, and buy three or four dozen now, not only to have them around the house, but to get all those little vials you stick on the end to keep the garden ones fresh when bringing them to the office, etc. The vials alone cost more then what they sell the flowers for after VD (intentionally abbreviated because only somebody with way too much stress in their life would complain about abbreviating Valentines Day in a thread about roses)

But what if you could get 112.5 miles per dollar when you bought roses using a Goldpoints/Radisson arbitrage? Would you find the most expensive "rare" roses and donate them to a local nursing home?

I confess that although I didn't buy my sweet roses *just* for the points, I did look to see who had the best points deal.
