Which would you rather receive as a gift? You can only choose one please.

Last one before half term. I’ll send out revision packs via DM to any keen A* students.

There’s always fresh flowers in my house (plants die quickly due to lack of care!). So flowers! How about you Pickle? x

Flowers, I love the temporal nature of them. Also I adore houseplants but just cannot keep them alive!

I’ve spent so much money on plants and humidifiers for them and so on, but they all perish! I’ve got the anti-Midas touch!

I prefer flowers in the garden as I can't keep houseplants alive in my house because of lack of sunlight.

Cut flowers die and have to be thrown out.

Flowers in the house but to be honest I would rather get a bottle of wine as a gift.

I have loads of plants so I don’t really have room for more.

Flowers would be nice (I’ve never been given flowers) as they’re only temporary so I could squeeze them in for a wee while and they’d brighten up the place a bit

Plants - here have something as a symbol of our relationship that can be nurtured and may grow to be more beautiful and bring pleasure over time

Flowers - here, have something as a symbol of our relationship that, whatever you do will provide brief visial pleasure then wither and die

As an IT consultant working mostly from home, I always have a houseplant or 2 around to counter the sterile IT equipment. I'm not great at looking after them sadly, but I put some effort in.

Personally I prefer cut flowers, I do have a few house plants but I'd rather choose them myself as we have a cat.

Houseplant as hopefully it grows the same as the affection for the person grows.

If not than I have a nice houseplant.

A bit of both these days. It’s easier to keep a bunch of flowers alive than my houseplants though

Flowers. Someone picked those and the plant will still live. If you have me a plant…I don’t hold much hope for the poor thing.

I love plants, I have loads in my house.

I’m not keen on cut flowers, although they look beautiful, they are already dead.

I missed this

I’m a houseplant person. I have some. I killed a few when I moved house and was unpacking- put them in some bad places and forgot to look after them.

But I have like 9/10 left and they’re in gorgeous shape. I used to ask for them for gifts but my gf started to veto them so I gave lots away

Prefer outdoor flowers. I've saved a lot this year by growing from seed.
