My own mother refused to let me use the word 'oblong' instead of 'rectangle'. Which is just odd, to be honest.
What stuff do you think is common?

Carnations are a definite "no go"... Lillies a bit of a grey area with the whole death association.
Roses ruined by my ex, who thought that they were the correct way to say "Sorry I f*cked my boss' teenage daughter!" (or probably more correctly "Sorry you found out!").
Ooh, I sound all bitter don't I?!
Anyway - little advice, anything with a bit of thought = well received (you choose flowers her favourite colour, add a romantic card etc). Anything from a petrol station = pained polite smiles ... if she's polite.
