If you are set on flowers, I think you will have drop the poor guy a hint. He isn't used to them meaning something and now that they do, just say it.

I know I dated one guy who gave me flowers all of the time. They quickly lost special meaning. They mean so much more when it isn't a special occasion behind the thought. My ex actually bought me a dozen long stemmed roses after our first argument! Could have saved a bundle if he knew my favorites were tulips. No I gladly took them and didn't mention my favorites.

Drop a hint and if that doesn't work...knock him on the head. LOL
