alright, this is what i am trying to do. i am wanting to give somebody a gift in a small flower pot with just one, pretty flower . i need a flower that, one, is very pretty, can grow in a small pot, can grow inside (with a decent amount of sunlight) and will live for a fairly long time given its taken care of properly.
what i want is, when i give the gift, for the plant to just be a small sprout and over the next about 2 weeks to grow a decent amount into the flower.
if anybody even understands what im talking about give me a hand. somebody who knows a thing or two about flowers.

I am a Marigold freak since insects hate them-----they need a lot of light---perhaps someone out here can advise if this would be OK indoors and how fast it grows--------I grow them between my tomato plants to help keep insects away and it works remarkably well.----I find them in orange and yellow-----they are sooooo pretty.

It's not a good idea to sprout a seed indoors. Without supplemental light, it won't grow right. You might go with a bulb like a Easter Lilly or an orchid. You might be able to find a Lilly that hasn't budded out yet. It would do well. You could also try an African Violet, but they are really high maintenance.

A peruvian daffodil. they are magnificent plant life. Mine did not bloom final 300 and sixty 5 days so i'm crossing my arms for this 300 and sixty 5 days. i in my opinion intend to make a want to get yet another job. I purely want somebody to grant me a huge gamble! Who cares if i'm overqualified, there are not any jobs in my container and that i want OUT!

my first girl friend gave me a chinese hibiscus10 years ago.
It's still flowering in my living room.
to answer your question: it can grow tall and big, but you can cut back to have it in a smaller pot, and also depends on what kind you have. I have the one which doesn't take much space.

I would say an orchid, but make sure you know how to take care of the plant you get, ask the florist.
