I usually don't, but I have the arrangements from LO's party on display and I LOVE how they look and smell!
I love flowers! It's a shame they die so quickly.. 
You might also enjoy...

I do every once in a while because I have an altar at home (Buddhist) and you're supposed to put flowers there. But they are so expensive and I am cheap.
I have some there now, though, and they make me smile!
-
nope! they are so pretty but yeah, because they die out so quickly, not worth the cost! unless you grow your own and i don't have a green thumb.
-
Nope, but like you, I love the pop of fresh color and scent it adds to the atmosphere. I did think about growing fresh flowers so that I could have fresh cut flowers in my home, but I never got around to doing so. One day! Ha!
-
I don't usually. If I have any pretty cutting flowers in my yard, I'll try to bring those in before they die. I'm cheap, too though.
-
In our house, they are know as "cat food." So yeah,, rarely.
-
I usually get flowers once a month for our foyer table and by the kitchen window. Nothing fancy, just fresh cut $10 bunches from the local market. It's one of my lil things I do to destress
-
I used to occasionally pre-kids, but not any more. Our lobby downstairs has two gorgeous tall flower arrangements every week though so when I come home downstairs I get that "aw, pretty flowers!" sentiment anyway.
-
I love to have fresh flowers in the house. I usually have lots of mini vases spread all around plus a large arrangement on the entry table. My husband's grandmother taught me that if you change the water every day and trim a little off the stems they will last for weeks.
-
I try to always have flowers in the house. It's an expense, but it really makes me happy. And like @Leialou: said, if you trim and replace water you can make them last longer.
-
I try to at least every other week, as I think it makes a big difference in brightening a room! During my 2nd trimester I actually took a flower arranging class where we learned about how to care for flowers (read: make them last longer) and how to arrange them.
It was so helpful, and like @leialou and @olivaoblivia have said, if you're diligent and cut them and change the water every day, they really do last so much longer! -
We always have a small bouquet of flowers next to pictures of our first baby,who is an angel baby.

I don't ever buy them, so the only time I have them is when they are a gift or if I have some pretty flowers blooming outside I'll occasionally bring them in to put on the kitchen table.
-
No, not usually. I usually get flowers for just my birthday. I bet if I owned a home and had a flower garden, I probably would.
-
I buy them every so often, right now I have some two week old Irises that are still going strong. The trick is to trim the stems and change the water every couple days and my aunt (who is a florist) tipped me off to adding a dash of sprite to the water to keep them perky.
I also have several houseplants that help keep things homey when I don't have flowers and I have an herb pot garden in the kitchen.
-
I only do when my husband brings them for me. I love flower.... but I can't afford to keep them constantly.
-
only when dh has done something stupid and buys flowers to apologize!
-
Only when DH buys them for me. I think they're a waste of money because they only last for a day or two and they're so expensive. Otherwise I would buy them all the time.
-
I love to have flowers around, and try to pick up bouquets on sale on a regular basis (though, those don’t last as long since they are usually a few days old already). The only bummer is my cat loves to get on the table and snap off the flower blooms from the stems, so I usually only get to enjoy them for a day or 2 before its just a bouquet of partially nibbled on stems.
-
I used to have a fresh arrangement at all times, but it's so much work and of course they're expensive. Whenever I come across some really nice looking silk flowers I try to make an arrangement. I found some white and pink fake peonies that look great, so that adorned our kitchen table for a while. They're in my cubicle at work now.
-
We often buy fresh flowers at the farmers' market, and DH brings me home a bouquet from time to time. So I'd say we have fresh flowers maybe 40% of the time. I love when we have flowers in our house!
-
i wish! i can't wait for spring to start. I usually have fresh lilacs for a couple of weeks.
I have some there now, though, and they make me smile!
