WARNING: AUTISTIC SPERGING
I don't like flowers. I don't find them romantic at all. When a girl says she wants flowers, the translation is "I saw people in movies and social media getting flowers so that means every girl should get flowers. If you don't get me flowers, you aren't fulfilling a societal expectation". I also think the reason girls want flowers is because they're something you can show off, they increase your social status. You can flex on your friends, "my boyfriend bought me flowers!!!!", you can post pictures of them online, people see you with flowers and they think "wow her life must be great!", etc. It's the same with wedding rings. Girls do actually like flowers and pretty things in general, but its more complicated than that. Obviously, you should still get your girlfriend a wedding rings and flowers, they're for her not you, but to me it seems really unromantic and its quite revealing about the psychology of many women. Bit more of a rant than question.

Women just love flowers. Don't try to rationalize it, it's a woman thing. My mom loves to get flowers for her birthday and mother's day. I don't try to understand it, I just give her something she likes.

They key is to test her reaction to the type of flowers you get her. For instance, if you really want a solid woman, pick her a bouquet of dandelions. It's not the same tired traditional trope of roses or whatever, and you can explain that you picked them yourself which shows extra effort. Finally, explain to her all of the uses that dandelions have beyond just being pretty flowers - for instance, you can eat them! Lots of dandelions recipes out there. So rather than being saddled with a bouquet of rotting useless flowers, you two can share a wonderful meal made from them once she is done admiring them for awhile.

It's really a win/win all around

I only got flowers from some tone-deaf guys I had no romantic interest in, neither I am into flowers, and it was just awkward. They were the types who thought, she's female, so she has to like certain things, because that's what women like. What about inviting her to eat out and know her better instead. If you think she might be into flowers, why not a potted orchid or rose, that can be regifted or planted outside. I think in general, flowers are better received by those who are already in a relationship (with you) AND wouldn't prefer the money to be squandered on something more edible or practical.

It's really not that deep. It's a cheap, universally accepted way of expressing you care. It makes her happy that you took out the time to go to a flower shop, choose what flowers to buy (especially if she has a favorite), and bring it to her. That's usually it. Bragging is just a bonus.
