While the gift of cut flowers are very nice, they usually only last a short time. You can give a gift which is just as nice and lasts a whole lot longer. Potted flowers, while requiring some maintenance on the part of the recipient, will brighten their display location for months or more. Most people imaging a potted flower as a single type of blossom multiplied by the size of the plant, but you can put more than one type of plant in a pot to create a living bouquet. Not all plants will grow well together, but there are many which will flourish in the same small space. It also does not need to be flowering to add a bit of beauty, green plants can be more attactive than flowers in many cases.
The following links will show some ideas for green gifts: Bonsai Kit, ProFlowers.com, or Giving Plants - there are many more that you could easily find with a quick web search. Depending on teh season, you could also go to your local Garden Nursery and get a professional opinion on what might be best for your intended recipient!
Thanks,
