Flowers from the florist are sprayed with preservatives and they are unhealthy, in general.
I've been chemically sensitive since my car accident in 2000, especially to smoke and perfume. I managed to avoid headaches by teaching online from home for the 10 years prior to my leaving the college. I controlled my environment and have used unscented products since before they became common. Back then you could only buy them at health food stores, at least in Florida.
One of the worst toxic offenders are scented dryer sheets.
Our hospital won't allow flowers in any of the cardiac units, intensive care or children's units. Whenever I'd get flowers delivered to work, I'd give them to the receptionist or, when nobody was looking, throw them away.
