Do you prefer to get flowers or a plant?

I like both, but I prefer the plants. I have plenty of room in the yard to plant them, so I will probably never have too many plants. It is nice to get plants because they last longer than the cut flowers that will be dead within a week. The occasional cut flower is nice though.

I myself enjoy flowers that you can plant, perenials. To me this is the best gift when it comes to flowers, because you can plant them in the ground and enjoy them every year.

I actually prefer a living plant, too. Plus, I am allergic to some flowers and it's safer to get me a plant that is not flowering or does not have scented flowers than to give me say a fragrant bouquet of flowers. The problem that I have is I really only have one place where they get a ton of sun that I can actually place a plant to grow.

Yes, I'd much rather have the plant.. especially if it's an outdoor one.. preferably a perennial so we can enjoy it from year to year.. I was never one much for flowers.. they're pretty and all, and I appreciate them but I'm with you! Much better if they are plants! Now if only hubby would realize I never wear jewelry, before chirstmas this year.. Guess I better comment off handedly on that a few times.. We've only been together 34 years.. Hey! The good news is he bought me two dwarf apple trees for my birthday.. course May is more convenient for that than December..

I like flowers on traditional flower days...Valentines Day and Mother's Day...but I also like plants. My husband is a very smart man and tries to always give me a plant along with flowers on traditional flower days.

I'll take a plant. Flowers are pretty. And I like them. But flowers die. They just don'tlast very long. A plant has a better chance. Dependingof course on who is caring for it. I don't have much of a green thumb. So plant life may not be much longer than flowers with me,lol.

I've made it quite clear to my partner that he is never to give me dying flowers as a gift, and if I'm ever in hospital he is to keep dying flowers out of my room.

I'm not much of a romantic... which is good, cos neither is my partner, lol.

Pot plants though, I love pot plants... especially edible ones. I have lettuces, strawberries, basil and mint on my window sill as well as a pretty blue lupin that seems to be trying to work it's way up to being a small tree*eep*

I also perfer plants. They last longer and if it's a flowering plant that's even better becuase you can have the best of both worlds.

I've recently learned how to create more plants from plant clippings (this dosen't work with all plants however) and it's been a great way to share the wealth so to speak. I can put them in new pots and share with my firends and family.

Plus, plants are good for the environment!

They both die for me, so I'd prefer the flowers, then I have a whole different bunch of flowers and not one plant that'll croak.

Flowers. They are dead once they are cut, and it will be a few days before they show it, then they are thrown out and it is over. Plants, on the other hand, come to my house to die slowly and miserable over the course of a few weeks, and then I am left with a pot of dirt. They aren't forever here.
