It is customary to pay it forward. Flowers is a wonderful gesture that is merely an extra thank you. The gift giver is rewarded as well by giving. No strings attached. Just a nice gesture on his part. I give something to housekeeping at hotel's even tho she is paid. It is a kindness. Why I admire gay men. Cultured & thoughtful.

How kind,,,,,Enjoy them!!

Payment is for services rendered, a gift is a sign of appreciation and friendship.

Think of the flowers as a tip.

Very considerate

Those are beautiful! How nice that he felt like showing his gratitude for your hospitality. I suppose many don't. Maybe he felt it is customary to tip housekeepers and staff places, so thought it would be less awkward to leave/send a gift for you as his host. Very sweet indeed!

Well, I restocked the kitchen at our b&b last fall before we left, but we never actually met the owner so flowers would've been a bit much.

You shouldn't feel funny about this. He is paying you a great compliment.

What a gorgeous bouquet!

I think it's no different than when a client would send me flowers for a project well done. He obviously recognizes quality, professional hospitality work, and wanted to convey his appreciation. It's wonderful that you two hit it off so well.

My bnb house guest went back to California Wednesday and today sent me flowers. I still feel a little awkward getting flowers from someone that paid me money to rent a room.

They were very pleasant and so attentive that the flowers are in my favorite color.

I believe that you are worthy of this individual act of gratitude. In my humble opinion, you should accept this gesture and recognize the fact that your hospitality and generosity of spirit likely resulted in this act of reciprocation. Peace.

Really very nice. Honorable and ennobling. Enjoy!

What a nice fellow! No one buys me flowers......

What a gorgeous arrangement!
