A thought for a flower for her garden. If you aren't in too hot a climate, what about a day-lily? My favorite is "Happy Returns". It blooms profusely in June and early July, and if you dead-head it (remove the dead blossoms), it will start blooming again a little throughout the summer, and then a lot from September through Thanksgiving. It requires very little care- fertilizing once a year, and deadheading (it will bloom a lot even if you don't do that). They go on year after year, getting fuller and prettier. I have never had one die on me. "Happy Returns" is a wonderful light yellow color, and is a miniature- about 18 inches high. You can put them in a large pot or in the ground. It's considered one of the easiest plants to own. so it might really suit her. You can buy them in most garden centers, and can also order one from White Flower Farms in Connecticut.
