Valentine's Day Ideas

So, fuck, flowers are super expensive. All that I want are some single roses...
Anyway. I'm tossing around a few ideas for Valentine's Day. Tell me what you think.
1. Buy a bunch of roses and present them to her while she's at work.
2. Hide single roses throughout her department and stash a bunch of them (like five) in her locker at work.
3. Just settle on a single rose and give it to her...somehow.
I'm also planning on buying her a bunch of fun things, like, a giant basket of fruit, some tomatoes (because she loves the damned things), a box of Suddenly Salad, some of those 5-hour Energy drinks that she likes, and...the roses.
The plan is to present these to her throughout the day. What do you think? Any suggestions?

As it turns out, whether or not it was "good" in the literary sense, it surprised and amazed my wife.
Way better than anything I could have spent money on, regardless of cost.
Also, do you know if she's the rose type?
And giving them at work is a touch and go thing. Not everyone likes that kind of thing in their professional environment.
Just ask her out if you really need to. Don't do a really over-elaborate thing at work that everyone will see.
I discovered that there would be no possible way to put the roses in her locker. Therefore, I came up with the idea that I will simply give one long stem rose to the operator girls that sit next to the employee entrance and have them present her the rose as she enters the building.
I will then place a dozen more roses at her work station. I think this will work....or it may just blow up in my face. Either way, it will have been a learning experience.
I wouldn't even do that on Vday, wait 'till like Wednesday or something.
I plan to ask a girl I like out to coffee unless she's surrounded by flowers and candies or sporting a new ring.

This was actually regarding an ex-girlfriend that I still work with.
Was that supposed to be make it less of a terrible idea? Because that makes it much, much worse.
Merely clarifying. Yes, it's a bad idea.
I wonder if giving roses to random (ugly) girls I work with would be nice instead...
If you do go ahead with your plan to shower roses on the pulchritudinally-challenged, the best thing that will possibly happen as a result is some lonely girl gets to think, for an hour or a day, that she's actually special, and that you like her - at least until she actually talks to you, and you blow her off because she's lolugly. Do you think that's a kind thing to do to someone? What purpose does that serve, aside from making you feel like a big man because you're showing some love to people you think don't have any? For that matter, why on earth would you assume that "random (ugly)" girls you work with need or even want your dubious attention? Plenty of random or normal-looking or even downright ugly people are in happy, fulfilling relationships - I've been living with my fiance for three years now, and if some random jagoff came up to me at work, handed me a rose, and said "Hey, baby, you looked like you needed this," I'd slap him once I stopped laughing.
You want to do something crazy and romantic for Valentine's Day? That's great. But first, get an actual girlfriend. Not someone who glances at you at work, not someone you think is ugly enough to be desperate enough to welcome your advances: take the time over the next year to develop a real, functional relationship, then come back next year and I'm sure people here would be delighted to help you dazzle her with your romantic chops.
