    Well - you know how these folk are @BenCotto...
    ...and it's Friday afternoon. Just what the spammers like  ;)

    Oh - and the wrongly spelled word in the title. Another clue  :)

    Last year we got an azalea from m&s for my MIL, it was flowering again in december when we saw them and she was really pleased with it

    It depends what kind of conditions it's going to be kept in - dry centrally-heated houses without a lot of natural light and only coming from one side aren't ideal but it's what most people have.
    My Mum always appreciates a few pots of spring bulbs that I've planted as dry bulbs the previous autumn and grown on. Not expensive, but a bit of thought goes into it and they can be planted in the garden after the flowers have faded. And not paying the over-inflated prices for flowers and flowering houseplants that happen in late March every year around Mothers' Day.

    Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
