Okay, for the record why I think flowers (roses) at work is tacky:
01. Roses are so cliché. Why don't you find out what her favourite flowers are, or get a flower that starts with like the first letter of her name, or a combination bouquet with her initials (probably won't find that on askmen.com, but feel free to ask me anything), or flowers that are specifically in season during the first day you met, or first date, et cetera. A little underlying meaning on top of a nice gesture goes a long way.
02. At work? Well, I guess the girls I talk to are either still in college, or don't have the type of job where sending something to work is feasible (bars, restaurants, photo shoots, etc.). That being said I have only sent flowers to one person in my entire life, and do send them to her place where she lives with 3-4 other girls, so I do get your last point about, "If you make any woman the object of envy in her peer group she will regard your efforts highly."
But technically, I wouldn't know where else to send them. The shoe store she works at, haha?
That's not awkward.
I guess at the place I work ... the people I see get flowers ... I just shudder to think another human finds them attractive. Then the fake bullshit the other women in the office do to fuss over it, and then talk behind their back about it.
Not saying that is the case in either of your cases, but I guess I really only have seen it from that angle.
Or from friends who send flowers specifically to work ... AFTER ... they did something detrimental to the relationship they don't want her to find out about, haha.
Shrug.
