make sure the pot coordinates with her current scheme. Mine got handed back when it didn't match.lol I had actually hand painted it with paint effects -blue and silver in an art class. Oh well.! I would prefer useful plants like a bay, mandarin, lime or kaffir lime. Or else one of those cool orchids or bromeliads.

potted patio rose.for on the porch or deck. keep the pot plain and decorate with a xmas bow, that could be removed later. some people don't like indoor plants.or have allergies.I once was given potted lillies.I sneezed for days.

Hippeastrum - it's a bulb that you can buy potted at the garden centre AND it'll flower every summer
I agree i am in love with the poinsettia at the moment although have made my mother inlaw a succlent planter up from other trademe members

Its not easy buying plants for the gardener. My most favourite plant gift was a Bunnings Voucher from my daughter last year.I had several months of pleasure, buying what I wanted, and when I wanted.
Other lovely plant gifts received have been a ginormous peace lily in flower, a plaited money tree and a ponytail palm, all in nice pots.
