Is it correct or acceptable to personally deliver flowers, for example Poinsettias (Christmas season flowers), to a woman at her workplace/ office? Should I call her first before dropping or I could surprisingly stop by and say Hi briefly?

The only time this would not be acceptable would be if she worked for the CIA or something. Everyone would understand the sentiment. Pointetta's are not very romantic, more seasonal, is that your intent?

It is acceptable to deliver flowers personally, but it is not always the best option. If you know the individual well and are sure they will be well-received then by all means do so. If the individual in question is less well-known to you they might feel "confronted" or obliged to thank you excessively for the gift. This can make them feel uncomfortable or embarrassed.
In any case, certain workplaces have policies regarding personal visits so it is wise to check in advance.

Most women do not appreciate being visited unexpectedly, be it at home or work, by a boyfriend, even for such a sweet gesture. If you haven't known her for long, opt for a delivery by the florist with a short message on a nice card. If you have known her for a very long time and wouldn't mind if she dropped in on you, it's probably okay. But make sure her boss won't get mad that she's spending work time chatting with you, and that your visit won't disrupt any professional image she's trying to maintain. To be safe: Go for a delivery.

i'm a grandmother that volunteers in kindergarten, if the instructor and volunteers did not immediately perfect impolite habit, subsequently training manners, the lecture room may be in entire disarray. i don't believe of there should be a chain time for a manners classification, yet because the party arises manners ought to study. Even small toddlers that are taught manners @ abode often times have relapses.

Uh, it is socially acceptable to have it professionally delivered. To do it yourself would force her to thank you in front of her co-workers (awkward) It is best to let someone deliver it, (be it a friend or leave it at the front desk where she is no where near) with a card so she may gush and admire them, then call to thank you. Trust me on this one.

It depends. What type of job does she have? it completely depends on the work environment. Do you think her boss would be okay with it? Sometimes certain employers find it to be interrupting of the office environment.

It depends on how well you know her. If you've known her a short time, it's best to let the florist do it, so as not to get her to think you're some kind of stalker.
If you know her well, do it yourself, and take her to lunch.

It is ok to drop by as long as her work does not have a rule against it. Just be sure to keep it as brief of an interruption as you can.

Let's put it this way...if you want to make an impression...have them sent, she will think "how nice of him", but really, it all depends on the time frame of the relationship and other factors involved.
