offering flowers
Giving a bouquet
Offering flowers is the act of presenting flowers as a gesture of affection, gratitude, sympathy, or romantic interest.
The phrase emphasizes the giving rather than the gift itself—flowers are offered at funerals, on dates, to patients in hospitals, or as apologies: He showed up offering flowers after their argument.
The gesture carries traditional connotations of tenderness and formality.
