Where can I buy flowers at Paris (ORY/CDG) Airport?
I am landing at Paris ORY, and then going to CDG by bus to meet my wife in arrivals. And coming back to Paris city (Mid-November).
Is there any flower shop at one of the airports to buy fresh flowers (public/land side only, i.e. after I clear Immigration/Customs at ORY)? I need it before I meet her.
Web sites of airports are not much of help; just showing the mini-markets and some branded showrooms.
Are there any shops? Any personal experience / photos / signs are appreciated. I am willing to walk around to departure areas of any of both airports.
Edit - To be clear, I want to buy/pick/receive myself. And I want to stand there holding it myself to present to her once she comes out after immigration etc. She lands 4 hours after me.

UPDATE:
Here is what I actually did: I just bought it from my starting city before I reached airport, asked the Trader Joe employee to cut the stems & make the bunch shorter; just put it into the carry on suitcase. On arrival after about 7 hours, they were fine.
==================================
I have accepted @dda's answer, and here in this I am just documenting what I found from Google, based on his suggestions:
- Landing at ORY Airport to Montparnasse
- Line 01 ORY to Montparnasse (20-30 Minutes Duration, 20 Minutes frequency, Single Ticket (Billet Simple) EUR 10/-
- Buy Flowers Montparnasse (Flowers in French Fleurs)
- Board Line 04 Montparnasse to CDG (70-80 Minutes Duration, 30 Minutes frequency, Single Ticket EUR 17/-)
Total Time (Minutes):
- 30 - Line 01 ORY to Montparnasse
- 30 - Buy Flowers
- 80 - Line 04 Montparnasse to CDG
- 30 - Frequency (Might miss one with just a minute) OR Breather
Total About 3 Hours At Most. It will be kind of race from the moment I am landside at ORY.
Also, the easiest no frills but unromantic option will be to not to do this & just Board Line 03, Direct from ORY to CDG (1 Hour 20 Minutes).
