my personal favorites: orchid, anthurium, bird of paradise, lily, in that order.
the first three are the best because of their vase life, the last one is because it's the flower of st. joseph.
incidentally, i came across somewhere that these flowers are both feminine and masculine, i.e., they're okay as gifts to both men and women.
