In the Language of Flowers, a system in which flowers symbolize emotions, acacia means "secret love." During the Victorian era, flowers were used as a sort of code and a small bouquet could convey a message. According to this code, a gift of acacia and maidenhair fern, which means "secrecy," would be appropriate to send to a secret love. Sending flowers as messages was once a popular practice, but it no longer is. Today, most people would not know a bouquet was meant as a message or be able to identify the meaning of the individual flowers. If you sent acacia to a secret love there is no guarantee he would understand the intended message. Using flowers to deliver a message is not as effective today as it was in Victorian times. What a flower means in a little-known language is no longer important. The best flowers to send to a secret love would be any flower you know she likes.On One Hand: Flowers Can Have Meanings
On the Other: Not Everyone Knows the Meanings

This probably isn't that helpful...But I agree with SarahD, not everyone will know a meaning of a certain flower; I can just get by with roses!
However, everyone knows what a Red Rose means...Maybe simple would be best?

I agree with Cutey Patootie (nice name made my day) a single red rose would be very romantic. but dont forget: cut off the thorns!!

You should buy a venus fly trap!! Girls love those things. Even though I did that to my girlfriend once...She broke up with me. But that doesn't mean she didn't like the flower!! I know if I was a girl I would want one!!
