There are many different beautiful plants that will last way longer than a single bouquet of cut flowers. A couple suggestions Jenn had included a rosemary plant (or other edibles), succulents in a variety of different pots, an air plant, a terrarium, and a variety of orchids, which can be found in some variation at nurseries and garden centers.
