Who needs cut flowers?

It's Not-Quite Spring and a young (or middle aged) Gardeners fancy turns to FLOWERS and COLOR. So what is a gardener to do when it's still not spring?

Buy flowers for inside.

But why buy cut flowers when you can buy living plants in full bloom?

Spring Cactus, probably Hatiora

Even if it never reblooms, even if it dies, it will still last as long (or longer) than cut flowers. And who could resist these blooms when the world outside is gray and damp?
