I received a beautiful bouquet of flowers and as they are slowly dying off, I was wondering if I could somehow plant them in the ground, and have it grow into a plant. After all, flower seeds come from flowers, right?

Seeds do come from the flowers...But most plants are so hybradised that most seeds are sterile, especially commercially grown plants.
If you want memories of ur beautiful bouquet why dont you take a few pics put them in a scrap book and press the flowers and frame them.

If your flower has seeds then yes you can plant them, but there will no guarantee that they will look like the flower they came from.
As for getting a plant from the flower itself, then I would have to say no. Cuttings are usually taken from fresh healthy plants and even then your chances of getting a start is iffy and your flowers have been dying for a while now.

IF there are seeds in the flower, you can plant the seeds and hope for growth. It's not likely though, since florists tend to remove the pollen-producing part of the bloom to prolong the show-life of the flower (since once a flower is pollentated, its biological purpose is fulfilled and the bloom with wither).

its not likely to work, and if it does the flowers may be different than the original- but give it a try. have the fun of gardening is the experimentation and anticipation. good luck!!
