Long story short, I paid for them to save my dignity, and took them home.  My wife got home and loved them, until, she was balancing the checkbook and saw how much I paid.  Now she's pissed.  (She forgave me, but she plum went off when she saw it at first.)  

Anybody else ever have to pay that much for flowers before?

Oh brother, never pay that much.  I go to my local grocery for mine, they cost $20, and usually last 10-14 days.  I literally couldn't ask for a better deal.  Now, I do have to trim the stems and put them in a vase with the plant food, but for saving that much money, it's just a little inconvenience.
