When you order flowers from a Real Florist, mistakes like flowers in a box that need to be arranged(ProFlowers or FTD.com) would not be mistaken as a bomb:see story:

The Montgomery County Bomb Squad was forced to destroy what
could have been an early Mother's Day present — a dozen multicolored roses. At
about 3:30 p.m. Saturday, the weekend caretaker for the Montgomery County
Courthouse was called because the fire alarm was going off, said Tim Chandler,
Montgomery County Homeland Security
coordinator.

When officials arrived,
they found what was reported as a suspicious package at the main entrance to the
courthouse in Millennium Plaza.
All local authorities were notified,
including the Clarksville Police Department, Montgomery County Sheriff's Office
and Clarksville Fire Rescue, and a four-block area of downtown was
cleared.
"We don't touch it, we don't move it, we don't breathe on it,"
Chandler said. Using an unmanned robot, Bomb Squad members Sgt. Cliff Smith and
Bishop Delaney used what Chandler described as a "water shot," or black
powder-propelled water, to render the black cardboard box "somewhat
safe."
The box — and roses inside — were destroyed, but Chandler said
authorities could determine there were no wires or explosive devices
inside.
The package, which appeared to be from FTD Florists(ftd,com), was supposed to
be delivered Friday, but instead was left at the front entrance on
Saturday
