Every time I have visited my wife in Nanning, she has been there with a huge fascicle she has given to me.
I think it is about some cultural thing, have not asked about it from her.
Here it is not usual to give flowers to man.

Anyway, now she is coming here. Flight is on Sunday. Should I give her flowers when she arrives even though it will take several hours before we will be at home? You think she will expect it? Can´t ask her any more, we have no connection any more before she arrives.

Someone can help?
Thanks in advance.

Flowers are a good idea. You may want to leave the flowers home and give them to her when she gets home. Lugging a bunch of flowers around an airport while trying to carry luggage and then fit it all in a car for the trip home may prove a hindrance. Better to have a display on the kitchen table with flowers, mylar helium balloons and maybe some wine or champagne so she can enjoy them in the right atmosphere- relaxing after a long flight and the hassle of the airport and traffic!
You may bring a corsage ( a pin on flower decoration) or single rose to the airport. Dress nice. Wear a suit and tie. Show her that you respect her. Don't wear a torn t-shirt and faded jeans.
She will be looking for you when she gets off the plane - make her proud of you.

Carlos, flowers are absolutely necessary. Maybe, you can choose some special flowers uniquely grown in Finland. What is the national flower of Finland? It might be a choice.

Yinduffy, nice thinking. Last days here have been such a hassle and I have had no time for thinking, so thank You.

Leonardo, Finnish national flower is lily of the valley, Convallaria majalis. It is a nature flower, not usually sold in floral shops.
