No, at home I'm known as the 8-hour man. We only quit because it's time to get up and go to work.

Speaking as a woman who very very rarely gets flowers, I am ecstatic when I do get them. Of course, in an ideal world, we women would get flowers on a normal day when nothing special or extraordinary is going on, just because we are soft, pretty, lovely visions of warmth, goodness, and light. But alas, this is not an ideal world, and I don't ever get flowers at work
I have *never* dated a man who sent me flowers at work. I've done an informal poll at work and out of 15 women, only 2 have men that send them flowers at work for anything other than a birthday or an anniversary. Once I asked a boyfriend to send me flowers and he asked me to give him the address. You've got a &#*%& phone book, look it up! If I have to GIVE you the address, then where's the spontanaety of getting pretty flowers at work and being surprised?!? My sister's husband actually told her to send them to herself![:]](http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png "Devious :]")
Women like flowers! They like to get them at work! So that other women walk by and think "ooh she's got a sweet guy!" So the woman can show off the beautiful flowers picked out by her man (ok, picked out by the florist at 1-800-FLOWERS, but hey it's the thought that counts....), and show that she is loved.
Granted, my bf and I never argue. So he's never had reason to send me "I'm sorry" flowers. But there have been days that I just had a rotten, rough, stinky day and he knew it, and flowers would have brightened my mood considerably. But I don't expect him to always pick up on that. Once would be nice (/bonks bf on the head)
Disclaimers: You may already send your wife flowers when you miss her, love her, are thinking about her, etc. In that case, disregard this advice. But if this post encourages at least one man to send his lady flowers once in his life, then I will consider it time well spent typing
Other Disclaimer: Some women don't like to get flowers. Usually this comes about as them having dated the rarest of the rare man who sends flowers often and copiously. So that they get burned out on flowers. In my experience, though, women like flowers and they especially like to get them at work!!
