I can’t either! On my first Mother’s Day, my husband sent me flowers. I looked at him and said “But where is my present?” He said his father always bought his mother flowers on Mother’s Day.

I don’t appreciate flowers as a gift. As you said, they are going to die. I want something I can keep to remind me of the person I love and the special occasion. But okay, if you buy me flowers, buy me something else, too!
