If a woman in your life says "don't bother buying me flowers," you're probably better off doing it anyway. Why? Because no matter how traditional of a gift they are, flowers are an immediate pick-me-up. They're fresh, colorful and quite the pleasant surprise. That said, you can't give just any flowers. (Forgo the carnations and don't even think about picking a few out of the front lawn.) Make it a bouquet, the bigger the better. Roses always win. Luckily, there are dedicated local florists who can help you get it right. This week, we want to know: Which florist in town is your favorite? Is it The Greenery? Do you pick up a quick bouquet at the Stop & Shop Florist? What about Floral Symphony? Maybe Perry's Florist or Victoria's Flowers? …
