i think you can send flowers, but you need to be careful with choosing which ones.sunflowers here is on all corners as they are for seeds and for oil, so i dont think that it will be something special even they look so cheerful.Good luck! 
I don´t think she should send pansi(e)s!

Oh dear  - it´s that language barrier thing again! No problem at all Pansi - just my little joke, you see ´Pansy´ in the UK is a word people use/used for a gay or effiminate man. Sorry if I upset you

This barrier thing really can get annoying , offending when no offence was meant I knew where you were coming from but obviously not all did.
Just in case it is still not fully understood the pansy is a flower , but describes an effiminate man as well.

I wasn´t making a joke about your nickname or your name dear - don´t be so sensitive. I was making a joke about the name of the flower associated with your nickname. Please don´t be one of those members who wants to turn everything into an argument - we have quite enough of them already.

Can you tell me if it is accepted for a lady to send a Turkish male friend flowers as a get well wish? I am American and would do it here. Guys are usually pleasantly surprised at the thought of getting flowers and like to be pampered. I don´t want the gesture to come accross badly if it is not done in Turkey.
i personally would like to get flowers but it wouldnt melt me as it does melt girls  and something about men would be a better gift. like ermmmm playstation
