Living Plant is better.
It is something I can look at all the time, and know someone cared :)
I adore! the one in my pick!
A bunch of flowers please. I'm not much of a gardener and my indoor plants tend to die, probaly as a direct result of lack of interest.
I love flowers so please give me a live one any day
It depends who is it for. I would not give it to a person who won't take care of them or does not even have a backyard. The plant would eventually die.
A living plant and if its for inside and it doesn't go any good I will plant it outside
I would rather a living plant. Then I get to enjoy it year after year instead of throwing it out.
I don't mind receiving living plants, but could you imagine receiving them often? You'd probably end up with a bunch of flowers and nowhere to put them. I think a bit of both would be ok. I love flowers in pretty vases. Besides, they can always be composted.
I love living plants, especially natives that are hardy and will suit my garden and the environment.
A plant is better, I can have it for years to come and if asked I can say who gave it to me after so long.
A living plant. It lasts longer and can freshen up the air in your house. I have read that the cut flower industry uses as much pesticide as the industrial farming industry. In that respect, I feel it is not good for the environment, so I prefer not to have those.
I prefer bunches of fresh flowers to brighten up my house. A living plant I would only give as a memorial to someone I know well and who would prefer to have to put in a garden as a memorial to their loved one.
