Do MEN like to receive flowers from women?

I want to find out how men would react if his wife, girlfriend, other friends sends him flowers as a present. How do you think they will react?

        Sep 4 2012: Well, seriously, I'd appreciate some flowers. Something that looks nice and smells nice but isn't fattening. I'd really enjoy it if the flowers were craftfully arranged by the person offering them, if it told some story or encompassed poetically a fragment of nature.
        I don't care much about roses and crappy cards.
