I am a husband and I have given flowers to my wife on March 8 for years.
And not only on that date.

What about Saint Valentine's Day then?
Any flowers on that day?

Yeah I bought my wife flowers, dinner and a book she’d been wanting.

Is March 8 a flower giving holiday of some kind that is escaping me?

It is more than that - much more.
It is the International Day for Women's Rights.

It has not really be forgotten.
Only the US-Americans seem to have forgotten about it.
Or seem to think that it is something "evil" and "Communist".

What Wiki says:

International Women's Day (IWD) is a global holiday celebrated annually on March 8 to commemorate the cultural, political, and socioeconomic achievements of women.[3] It is also a focal point in the women's rights movement, bringing attention to issues such as gender equality, reproductive rights, and violence and abuse against women.[4

flowers

Over the years, women and men alike have continued to give the gift of flowers to show their appreciation for the strong women in their lives. And although the mimosa flower has a special significance, it's not the only flower given. According to The New York Times, flower shops across Russia sell upwards of 150,000 roses on March 8. You, too, can participate in the flower-giving tradition this year; order flower delivery to the special women in your life ahead of time, or pick up a bouquet from your local flower shop and gift individual blooms to the women you pass throughout the day.

The Story Behind the Traditional International Women's Day Flowers

 

[snoochface]

I don't find it to be one of my rights as a woman to receive flowers. But no, I didn't get flowers that day, however my husband gives them to me regularly, for no reason other than to bring me something beautiful, throughout the year.

 

[Red Gold]

Yes - there are two good ways:
Get flowers on special days
And: Get flowers on ordinary days.

I would not call flowers "smelly".

You mean FLOUR, right? 'Cause I'm pretty sure I had that going on in my kitchen. And no, I don't support strange international holidays. JMO

 

[Red Gold]

And no, I don't support strange international holidays.

Then I suppose you do not support Christmas and Easter either.
Because they are also international.
I suppose you only find good what you know already.
And anything else is worthless and un-interesting for you.
Sorry.

 

[Red Gold]

I thought some women were in favour of equal rights.
Am I mistaken?

Correct. I no longer celebrate those, either. I used to, but things have changed after doing research through the Holy Spirit's nudging.
For someone who seems to encourage women's liberality, you sure seem condescending when a woman doesn't agree with you. Interesting.
