How quickly will this plant die?

Buy bonsai or something similar.

he kills plants quickly. I am not sure what would be a safe plant.

the best thing when my mom died was a heartfelt card. But one friend did do something really cool, she had 6 pints of Ben & Jerry's sent.

I was so surprised, it really made me laugh.

or a plant that will be easy to care for. You could ask the florist.
