      💐

      I think a live flowering plant in a pot is a better gift than cut flowers, even if it’s going to die. Probably the most enthusiastic response I ever got was over the gift of a cactus.

        It can be better but you have to know the person has the window space and is enthusiastic about caring for it long-term. Otherwise you can be giving chores to them. The short time-span of cut flowers is a feature, not a bug.
