Because beauty is transient and never lasts.

Perhaps, but isn't love meant to be more lasting than such things?

There's symbolism in flowers. And lessons that are supposed to be imparted through their maintenance.

They're gifts of love, but they perish. It seems forboding to me.

They're short lived, but part of accepting that gesture of love is seeing how long the recipient can preserve or display their beauty so that they will be seen before they do die. It's a two part gift.
