Flowers for coworker?

Is it appropriate to send flowers to a coworker if she recommended you for your job and you are quitting only after a month? I worked with her somewhere else and when I found out the place she's working at was hiring, I applied and she spoke highly of me to the Boss and to the people at HR which resulted in me getting the job. But I've accepted a better job offer elsewhere and I feel bad that I'm leaving after a short time,but I'm very appreciative that she got me the job.





So do you think flowers are ok? If so, what kind of flowers?

Flowers for coworker?
~~ What a thoughtfull idea, and a good one. You could also write on the card " thank you for giving me this opportunity to work with you and for the company, it has been a pleasure to work with you" . I think a nice cheerfull springlike flower arrangement would be nice. What a nice way to say thank you ,,,,,,,
Reply:Rather than sending her flowers, I would send her a handwritten note on nice stationery or a card telling her how appreciative you are that she recommended you for the job, and how you are sorry to be leaving after such a short time. If you do send her flowers, don't send them to the office - she will be embarassed that she was the one who recommended you and won't want to highlight that fact to her coworkers!
Reply:How about flowers and an APOLOGY! She put her professional reputation on the line for you by recommending you for the job and now you're leaving after a month. You think her employer is going to trust her opinion and judgement in the future?
