Valentine's Day related question

This same subject was raised in another thread, but I didn't want to hijack it so I decided to start one of my own.
Back story: I've written about this before on this forum. There's this girl who I've liked for a while now. We've known each other for more than two and a half years (met at college) and I've liked her for a little more than a year now. I also know that she likes me too. In the past, I had been been too shy to do anything about it but I finally grew a set and, as a result, I'm driving back to my alumni university in two weeks for a date with her.
But Valentine's Day is next weekend. I want to do something for her but I definitely don't want to overdo it. I was thinking about having some roses sent to her from 1-800-flowers or something. Would this be a good idea? We've known each other for a long while now and there's a real chance for this thing turning into a relationship (based on things we've said to each other before). But we haven't been on an actual date yet, at least not until two weeks from tomorrow...
I'm strangely comfortable about the idea, but I'd like a second opinion. Would roses be a good idea, or should I have a smaller gift sent to her? Thanks!

flowers (for me anyway) always seem to indicate an ongoing mutual relationship....
then don't do anything. it you want to do something call her up and ask to reschedule to valentines weekend. nothing worse than putting pressure on a relationship before it even starts.
Somehow after a year breakup we're back together and better than ever. Go with the flowers man, if she doesn't like them or finds them too strong or weird then move on.
Roses = pressure?
If you're afraid of roses seeming like too much, go for a less dramatic flower, but I think any girl would be happy about getting flowers. It's a thoughtful gesture. Of course, you know her better than random H/A posters do... If you think she's the type to think flowers are wasteful to the environment or might panic at the idea of A Relationship then it's not a great idea but if she's your average girl, go for it. Getting unexpected flowers is awesome.
Not dramatic like roses, yet thoughtful enough to get the message across, I think.
I guess I'll find out how she reacts when I go back and see her. She had been wanting me to be more assertive, anyways (in fact, that was a big reason that we never got together before...) so I think that this will be a nice surprise.
I like to go to the store and mix and match and make my own boquet...one time i got 18 roses i think blue ones in the centre that made the shape of a heart (kinda) and the rest these pinkish white ones. It was pretty neat
I was going to suggest making her a card and sending it to her.
